Released in 1937 and partly based on the legend of Bonnie and Clyde, You Only Live Once was directed by Fritz Lang (Metropolis, Fury), starring Oscar® winning actor Henry Fonda (Grapes Of Wrath, Twelve Angry Men) and Sylvia Sidney (Fury, Blood On The Run). Eddie Taylor (Fonda) is an ex-convict who can’t get a break on the “outside”. He marries Joan Graham (Sidney) who like her husband is one of life’s losers. Framed on a murder rap, he is forced on the run with his wife and baby in tow. In trying to avoid capture, Taylor becomes a murderer for real, condemning himself and Graham to an early demise.
