The Morning After (1974 film)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Morning After was a 1974 ABC made for television movie starring Dick Van Dyke and Lynn Carlin. Van Dyke played a successful public relations writer who has a serious drinking problem that threatens his marriage and life. It was around this time that Van Dyke admitted he really was an alcoholic and had been seeking treatment (one of the first celebrities to do so). This film also marked Van Dyke's first real attempt to escape his Rob Petrie image. Van Dyke was nominated for an Emmy for Best Lead Actor in a Drama but lost to Hal Holbrook. Today the film is still shown in some treatment centers.
