A successful public-relations man's refusal to admit his alcoholism jeopardizes his career, his family, and his life. Unknown to anyone but those close to him, Dick Van Dyke had been struggling with a real-life drinking problem for several years prior to making this movie. Before filming began, he decided to tell director Richard Heffron about his struggles. As a result, while filming, Heffron would lay out scenes, then tell Van Dyke, "you know more about this than I do, so just do it the way you see it, the way you feel it." Just before the movie aired, Van Dyke decided to go public with his alcoholism struggles, becoming one of the first entertainment figures to go public about a drinking problem. He received thousands of letters of support. Have you seen "The Morning After"?

In a retirement home, a surly man and a withdrawn woman come to terms over a game of cards. Mary Tyler Moore and Dick Van Dyke were absolutely marvelous in this performance. The chemistry between them is remarkable. They play off of each other as if they had done it every day since the Dick Van Dyke show. A definite must see for fans of either.
