QWhere does the title for the movie come from?
AThe movie's title Days of Wine and Roses comes from an 1896 short poem 'Vitae summa brevis spem nos vetat incohare longam' by English writer Ernest Dowson [1867-1900]:
'They are not long, the weeping and the laughter.
Love and desire and hate:
I think they have no portion in us after
We pass the gate.
They are not long, the days of wine and roses:
Out of a misty dream
Our path emerges for a while, then closes
Within a dream.'
