A long-time alcoholic's drinking begins to have a devastating effect not only on his personal life but on his family as well. Excellent movie on multiple levels, works as entertainment and as a lesson. Perfect casting, appropriate acting and believable writing make this a keeper. The story is told through the eyes of the older brother, now a stand-up comedian. Basically, the whole movie is a recounting via his stage act. Interesting device, Provenza pulls it off wonderfully.Under the Influence (1986) TV Movie
