(aka "Wonderful")
One of the earliest and quirkiest Hollywood ventures of groundbreaking filmmaker Fritz Lang (Metropolis, Scarlet Street, Human Desire), You and Me is a romantic comedy-drama that packs a punch of social commentary through the hard-boiled love story of a hard-luck couple. Sylvia Sidney (Fury, You Only Live Once) and George Raft (Spawn of the North, Some Like It Hot) star as two former convicts who find honest work in a department store and love in one another—until a dark secret from the past threatens to drive them apart. With dazzling montages and choral sequences that marry the director’s German Expressionist technique to Kurt Weill’s music, You and Me overflows with sheer cinematic joy. Featuring Barton MacLane, Harry Carey, Roscoe Karns, Robert Cummings and the rich cinematography of Charles Lang (The Big Heat). *** Mr. Morris, the owner of a large metropolitan department store, gives jobs to paroled ex-convicts in an effort to help them reform and go straight. Among his 'employed-prison-graduates' are Helen Roberts and Joe Dennis, working as sales clerks. Joe is in love with Helen and asks her to marry him, but she is forbidden to marry as she is still on parole, but she says yes and they are married. In spite of their poverty-level life, their marriage is a happy one until Joe discovers she has lied about her past, in order to marry him. Disillusioned, he leaves, goes back to his old gang and plans to rob the department store. |

On their
Blu-ray,
Kino use a DTS-HD Master dual-mono track (24-bit) in the
original English language. You and Me
has no real aggressive moments (a one punch fist fight) and the audio is
authentically flat and a shade hollow. The score is by Kurt Weill (The
3 Penny Opera) including Song of the Cash Register,
The Right Guy for Me, and Knocking Song sounding clean with consistent dialogue
in the lossless transfer. Kino offer optional English
subtitles on their Region 'A'
Blu-ray.
The Kino
Blu-ray
Fritz Lang's You and Me
is not prominent in the noir cycle despite the proliferation of ex-cons,
Lang directing and Raft-Sidney starring. There are stronger elements of
romance and comedy floating over a half-baked crime caper. Fritz Lang
had just made
Fury and
You Only Live Once with Sylvia Sidney. You and Me
lacks desirable style (however, loved the Art Deco opening credits) but
it is fun and I enjoyed the leads very much -
ex-cons (she know he is, but he doesn't know she is) breaking the terms
of their parole by secretly marrying. It's not one of Fritz Lang's
masterpieces but is a better film than some critique it. The Kino Blu-ray
