Previous Episode: Episode 77: Release the Jaden Cut ("Gemini Man," 2019)
Pro/Con examines its oldest film to date, 1938's "You and Me" from seminal director Fritz Lang. A dud when released, this genre-bending rom com/musical/crime caper is something truly unique. Power couple George Raft and Sylvia Sidney lead a charming cast of ne'er-do-wells through the old-fashioned (and depressingly relevant) hellscape of retail work. This overlooked classic demands reevaluation.
