## Description

Fritz Lang's masterpiece beautifully restored and out for the first time on Blu-ray. Three-time loser Eddie Taylor (Henry Fonda) has had enough of life behind bars. Determined to make good after an early parole from prison, Eddie finds devoted sweetheart Joan (Sylvia Sidney) waiting for him as he is released back into society. They soon marry and hope for a bright future together, but Eddie's past confronts him at every turn making it difficult for them to survive. Fate then deals the young couple a cruel blow when Eddie's convicted of bank robbery and murder all the while proclaiming his innocence. Desperate to escape from prison before he's executed, Eddie gets hold of a gun and makes it past the prison gates, but not without tragic consequences. A haunting masterpiece, You Only Live Once was director Fritz Lang's second American effort (after Fury) and a forerunner to numerous criminal lovers on the run films like Gun Crazy and Bonnie and Clyde. Made in the midst of the Great Depression, this unforgettable tale illuminates the cynical underbelly of American life that was otherwise lacking in late '30s cinema and delivers just as potent a narrative today as it did eighty years ago. Bonus Features: Feature length audio commentary by author and film historian Jeremy Arnold. Restoration Comparison.

    Henry Fonda's Youthful Power!
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2018*

It was total heaven to see Henry Fonda practically as a teenager and to realize that he was the total actor even in his early days.  I loved the movie and really got involved with it.  Fritz Lang was the total package: a great visualist, a great director, and a man who could bring out the best in his actors even though he was a tyrant and anyone who worked for him hated him.There was that 30's innocence about the movie which I see in other 30's movies.  It wasn't afraid to plumb the emotions of a story and visually tried to capture the beauty and sensitivity of the emotions involved in the story-line.While I loved Sylvia Sidney, there was that dated over-acting which she does in most of her movies.

    Sad but captivating.....
  

*by M***2 on Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2021*

A Bonnie & Clyde sort of story only this couple didn't start out guilty; life turns went totally awry for them leading them deeper and deeper into darkness. They had those who believed in them & wanted their best..... but those good things came too late.Henry Fonda has always been a favorite of mine so watching him so early in his career was a treat; so handsome, young, and clean cut. Sylvia Sidney was such a pure soul, loved her guy, believed in him no matter what. They were such a lovely young couple with their lives before them.... but the cards were stacked wrong.  I wish things had been different.....

    Fine Later Lang
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2003*

Fritz Lang's best films were already behind him when he arrived in Hollywood. He would not surpass the films he made in Germany, but his American films are almost always worth seeing and sometimes approach greatness. You Only Live Once is one such film. The story concerns sympathetic criminal Eddie (Henry Fonda) trying to go straight and the woman who has stayed by him, legal secretary Joan (Sylvia Sidney). Lang makes the audience root for Eddie, who is not a typical snarling thirties gangster, but a basically decent man who through bad luck and bad choices has found himself in a desperate situation. Fonda is perfect for this role, and gives a fine performance. Sidney is equally good as a woman fighting against friends, family and circumstances to stay with the man she loves. It is her performance which makes the film a terrific romance as well as a fine thriller.The print on the Image DVD is fairly good. It shows quite a lot of wear and tear, but seems complete. There may be many scratches, but the black and white photography still looks stunning with good detail and clarity. The soundtrack unfortunately has a great deal of hiss and crackle. Occasionally this makes the dialogue quite hard to hear. Nevertheless the film is still perfectly watchable and the flaws present in the print and soundtrack did not spoil my enjoyment of what remains an excellent film. The DVD has no extras.
