With Sylvia Sidney, Henry Fonda, Barton MacLane, Jean Dixon, William Gargan, Margaret Hamilton, Guinn "Big Boy" Williams, Jerome Cowan
Directed by Fritz Lang
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.
