      John Kinloch California Eagle Under Lang's direction, all performances measure up, with the character folk, headed by Harey Cairey. taking top honors. Oct 25, 2019 Full Review Ann Ross Maclean's Magazine Soundly educational, but doesn't make for what is known in the trade as socko entertainment. Oct 8, 2019 Full Review Fernando F.

      peter w Lang manages to walk that fine line between comedy and drama, although, in spite of some comedic scenes, I see it leaning towards drama given the theme of staring over after serving time with the conflicting loyalties that ensue. On the comedic side, the "honeymoon dining" scene was a charming diversion that speaks to making do in spite of challenges. As always, Lang provides striking visual images, including his early foray into Art Deco. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review ashley h You and Me is a decent film. It is about a department-store owner who hires ex-convicts in order to give them a second chance at life. Sylvia Sidney and George Raft give good performances. The screenplay is a little slow in places. Fritz Lang did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the romance. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Lang's 3rd American film an odd but mostly successful mix of genres--A heck of a lot of fun!! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member good noir from director fritz lang Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member It's pretty great. An eclectic Bretchian film and part musical. It's often stunning visually. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Odd mix of comedy, crime drama, and social message picture from Fritz Lang (complete with songs by Kurt Weill), starring George Raft as an ex-con going straight (banking on his gangster image) and Silvia Sydney as his love interest with a secret. The film has a soft spot for lovably oddball ex-criminals arguing that society should give them a chance (even while presenting them as one step away from pulling their next job) but it is a bit flat-footed in the plot department. Too many of the actions here seem wrong-headed or out-of-step for these characters (as built up). Nevertheless, Lang presents it all with style.
