Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
You Only Live Once is a 1937 American crime drama film directed by Fritz Lang and starring Sylvia Sidney and Henry Fonda. Considered a precursor film noir, it was the second film directed by Lang in the United States. At least 15 minutes were trimmed from the original 100-minute version of the film due to its then unprecedented violence. Despite this, the film is widely considered an early film noir classic. It is also known for being one of the first box-office bombs. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
