Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Fritz Lang, social worker.
This time it's rehabilitating ex-cons, in the almost forgotten, You & Me, from 1938. No reviews for three years. George Morris (Harry Carey) is the altruistic owner of a department store & he hires ex-cons. George Raft is an employee, a former tough guy but apparently rehabilitated.
He has just gone off of parole & is really free. Free to travel, go where he wants, see who he wants & fall in love. Everyone knows he's an ex-con & his old gang members are trying unsucessfully ... Read More
Rating: - A must-see for fans of Fritz Lang!
A truly offbeat proto-noir crime comedy directed by German film pioneer Fritz Lang at the start of his Hollywood tenure. George Raft and Silvia Sidney co-star as star-crossed lovers who meet while working in a large New York department store whose president believes in hiring ex-cons as a way to help them socially rehabilitate themselves. Raft is an ex-felon whose probation has just ended, and he feels that now, at last, he can find love and marriage. What he doesn't know, though, is that his bride, Sidney, ... Read More
Rating:  - UNUSUAL CASTING MAKES FOR A FAIR FILM.
Joe Dennis and Helen, two ex-cons on parole, work in the department store of Mr. Morris, who kindly hires former inmates to help them assimilate to civilian life...Only one of them isn't quite reformed...A downright peculiar little comedy-drama which is fun to watch for that very reason. The musical numbers for this film are unorthodox compared to many others in American films of the period: listen to SONG OF THE CASH REGISTER which is heard spoken/sung in a deep baritone male voice as the film opens. It's a hoot! ... Read More
Rating: - The Gang That Couldn't Think Straight
Made in 1938, Fritz Lang's You and Me was probably the first noir/crime film to combine comedy, lighthearted romance, and musical sketches into a morality play concerning the consequences of crime. Sylvia Sydney as the sprightly salesgirl Helen, carries the picture. In a familiar role that seemed to define her career, Sydney became an icon for working women of the thirties and forties who struggled for an identity within middle class America. As in You Only Live Once and Dead End, Helen is similiar to Sydney's ... Read More
Rating: - Damon Runyon Meets "3 Penny Opera"
"You and Me" (1938) is a genuine sleeper and a cult favorite among fans of director Fritz Lang. An offbeat, quirky mix of Damon Runyon and Kurt Weill (who wrote the music), this romantic comedy features George Raft and Sylvia Sidney in good form as an unlikely couple with a criminal past. Lang's expressionist style is evident during the Weill-inspired segments -- a Hollywood interpretation of "The 3 Penny Opera." Though not for all tastes, "You and Me" is much better than its critical ... Read More
