Thank you, much appreciated, that aspect plays a pivotal role in the book I just wrote about Charlie's creative partnership with Billy Wilder...for which I had access to his private diaries about both figures. You'd likely enjoy it, it's called Double Solitaire. Cheers, D.
Your post brought on a reverie of wistfulness, especially the image of the whiskey condensation rings on the bar. Who would want their past wiped clean by a wet rag?
Thanks for covering the closeted nature of both Brackett, and the hero of the novel, whose alcoholism is explained by his covert gayness. The nature of Brackett's relationship with his son-in-law has been often hinted at, and it is good that you haven't shied away from the rumors.

Indeed, that screenplay has a horde of poignant moments of sheer human poetry for sure. Very brave work for that time in the dream factory.
