Directed by Fritz Lang, You Only Live Once (1937) was both his second American film and a precursor to the Film Noir genre. The story concerns an ex-convict who can't seem to catch a break... repeatedly accused of crimes he didn't commit and finding himself in trouble again, his loyal wife by his side. Gritty for it's time, the dramatic action is palpable. Henry Fonda and Sylvia Sidney are great in the lead roles.
