I giorni del vino e delle rose (1963)
Joe Clay e Kirsten Arnesen si conoscono, lavorando nella stessa ditta, e si sposano. Spinta dal marito, accanito bevitore, anche la donna comincia a bere. In breve i due diventano alcoolizzati. Accortisi di essere sull'orlo della propria rovina e di quella della loro bambina decidono, di comune accordo, di smettere. Ma dopo qualche mese di astinenza ricadono nuovamente nel vizio. Joe, però, con l'aiuto di una associazione, l'"anonima alcoolisti", riesce alla fine a spuntarla e a non bere più. Non così Kirsten, che persevera nel vizio, abbandonando la famiglia e cercando facili avventure con alcoolizzati come lei. Joe è tentato di lasciarla per sempre, e di rifarsi da solo una vita. Alla fine, però, ha pietà della moglie e decide di restarle vicino nella speranza che sarà più facile indurla a tornare ad una vita normale.
