Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen
MonsterPerfect Good idea lost in the noise
SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
blanche-2 "You for Me" is a second feature starring the beautiful Jane Greer, Peter Lawford, and Gig Young. Elaine Stewart appears at the end of the film looking va-va-va-voom gorgeous.Lawford is a wealthy man, Tony Brown, a potential donor to the hospital, who comes to the hospital with a rather embarrassing injury. Nurse Katie McDermad, who was on her way out shopping when this emergency came in, isn't too sympathetic. She doesn't realize who he is, and her sarcasm isn't appreciated. She's fired.Dr. Chadwick (Young) advises Katie that the money Brown intended to donate before she was so nasty is needed for his research project, so she goes to his room to apologize to him. She soon finds herself in the middle of a triangle, with both men attracted to her. Meanwhile, she has to deal with her middle class family at home.Very slight comedy, but I'm a big fan of Jane Greer's. She's lovely and Lawford is charming and exceptionally handsome. Gig Young is affable. They just didn't have too much to work with.You can skip this one, but if you're a fan of Jane Greer's, see it. She's in little enough.
moonspinner55 Friendly, completely inconsequential second-biller from MGM has level-headed nurse Jane Greer assigned to get the annual hospital donation out of wealthy lothario Peter Lawford; after a rocky start, they warm towards each other, but it turns out doctor Gig Young likes Greer as well! Irrepressible comedy is fast and brief, which is a good thing because the plot is paper thin. There's an ornery nurse who gets laughs, and Young is amiable and sturdy, but Jane Greer is an odd one: she gets only a few funny lines and has to run around worried about everybody, but an innate sexiness does manage to shine through her stalwart appearance. ** from ****
joeblondiemonco The first fifteen minutes are a lark. Jane Greer displays her great comedic timing which never was used to its best potential (for Greer at her comedic best, catch "The Big Steal").After the first fifteen minutes, the film drags. Greer's character loses all of her comedic appeal, becoming just another girl looking for love, while Peter Lawford, Gig Young, and the rest of the cast try a bit too hard to sound funny, failing miserably and chewing up scenery in return.Fortuneately, the charm of Jane Greer made this 70 minutes too long film worth sitting the whole way through. But she, and Gig Young have done far better work then this programmer.
Eric Chapman Glib, engaging romantic comedy with a sitcom-like feel, but a GOOD sitcom, with well-rehearsed actors delivering consistently witty dialogue with impeccable timing and skill. The film has a loose, likeable quality that seems to flow naturally from Jane Greer's down-to-earth, girl-next-door (but not the bland, idealized girl-next door) acting style. Her nurse is nobody's fool but also nobody's girl and therein lies the conflict. Peter Lawford and Gig Young, typically second leads, are also in good form. Here, the two of them together add up to one more than adequate leading man. It truly is a contest and a mystery which one Greer will choose. They complement each other well; neither is all hero or heel.What's most remarkable about the picture and most indicative of its quality is how minor characters keep surprising you. Young's Aunt Clara, who in other films would be a daffy but lovable eccentric overflowing with relationship wisdom and sage advice, is here a not completely innocuous free-thinker with radical beliefs. In a scene where Young introduces her to Greer, the two don't bond instantly as one expects; instead Greer squirms at the old woman's peculiar ideas about the medical profession and even challenges them (to little avail). Tommy Farrell's goofy, unthreatening intern, Dr. Rollie Gibb, in what would ordinarily be the thankless THIRD lead, gets kicked in the shin a few times for laughs early on, but emerges by film's end, refreshingly, as not only more of a man than Greer had ever imagined but also a bit of a hero. Scenes like this show that the filmmaker isn't on auto-pilot and is truly interested in fleshing out this fictional world and populating it with people, not types.I don't do many reviews these days but when I saw how this was being so unjustly maligned I had to mount a defense. You for Me may be a small forgotten film, but most fair-minded viewers who stumble across it will be surprised at how good it really is. 50 years later it holds up remarkably well.
