U.S. label ClassicFlix has revealed the coverwork for its upcoming Blu-ray release of director Fritz Lang's film You Only Live Once (1937), starring Sylvia Sidney, Henry Fonda, Barton MacLane, Jean Dixon, and Jerome Cowan. Complete details will be confirmed next week, but the release is expected to be available for purchase later this summer.
Synopsis: Convicted felon Eddie Taylor ( Academy Award-winner Henry Fonda) decides to lead the straight life with his devoted girlfriend, Joan (Sylvia Sydney), who arranges for his early parole. Ignoring her relatives' advice, Joan decides to marry Eddie, who she believes is an essentially decent guy who had a few tough breaks in life. However, a bank robbery gone bad points accusing fingers at the innocent Eddie, who finds his life crumbling around him. Swearing his innocence, Eddie takes Joan on the lam in a cat-and-mouse chase with the law closing in just a few steps behind them!
This haunting and beautifully stylish gem from master director Fritz Lang (M, Metropolis) was the first of his remarkable film noir classics, including The Big Heat, Scarlet Street, The Woman In the Window and Clash By Night. Hard-hitting and unforgettable, this exciting tale of crime and revenge inspired numerous "criminal lovers on the run" films like Bonnie and Clyde and The Getaway and remains a searing, tragic and romantic exercise in suspense! Cinematography by Leon Shamroy (Cleopatra).
