Dylan: The Life and Death of a Poet [1136028] Released: 1978-11-09 Revenue: $0 Budget: $0 Profit: $0 Runtime: 117 mins Popularity: 0.4886 Vote Average: 6 Vote Count: 1 Overview: A drama documentary of the life and death of the poet Dylan Thomas, who died in New York 25 years ago at age 39. Alcohol and a doctor's injection of morphine were the immediate causes. Ever since his childhood in Wales his life was a spectacular attempt - comic at times, serious below the surface, tragic at the finish - to survive on his own bizarre terms as the poet to end all poets. By the 1950s, that first postwar decade of uneasiness and change, Dylan Thomas was a legend to his admirers but a burnt-out case to himself. As he tours America to read poetry to rapt audiences, his past crowds in on him, the fractured memories of a man at the end of his tether.
