Too Late to Love (1959)

Michèle Morgan: Maître Catherine Ferrer

Quotes 

• Catherine Ferrer : I hit the bottle because, on some nights, I didn't have the nerve to go back home. Drinking is a disease, a terrible disease. People are moved to pity by those who have TB; they are stricken by cripples, but alcoholics make others laugh. They claim pity, what they get is scorn... They beg for love, they are put away. It's convenient... It's discreet. It's above all simpler than to alleviate their plight and try to understand them. To understand that they suffer, yes, that they suffer, and that they don't do it on purpose. I know them... I am one of them.
