You and Me 1938 Film Noir George Raft and Sylvia Sydney Directed by Fritz Lang

Not a typical film noir, it is quite a bit odd, something you don't usually see in most film noirs. It certainly has more of a trademark German expressionist look. It’s a part romantic comedy, part Depression-era drama, part Kurt Weill musical and part illustrated lecture that  “Crime Does Not Pay.”
George Raft, a big star of the era who is often unfairly maligned by contemporary critics, gives one of his most vulnerable performances as Joe Dennis, an ex-convict who works at a Manhattan store whose owner Jerome Morris (western legend Harry Carey, cast wildly against type) believes in giving them a second break. What Joe doesn’t suspect is that Helen, the fellow employee who he briefly holds hands with as their escalators move in opposite directions. A swooningly romantic touch more like Frank Borzage than Lang. Joe is also out of stir (and, as the script would have it, is forbidden by her parole to date, much less marry Joe). A must Fritz Lang see.
Music by Kurt Weill. Cast: Barton MacLane, Mickey Bain, Harry Carey, Jerome Morris, Roscoe Karns, Warren Hymer, George E. Stone and Robert Cummings.
