What can one reasonably expect of a film that starts with Peter Lawford being shot in the ass by a fellow hunter? If you haven’t asked yourself that question you probably haven’t been held hostage by your cable service at 2 Am. The film? 1952’s You And Me, featuring a love triangle so wobbly it challenges high school geometry. At its limp corners: Lawford, Jane Greer and Gig Young.
After the first shot is fired, wealthy and eligible Tony Brown is taken to the hospital. There he is not coddled, and thus bitterly announces that he is canceling his late father’s endowment to the hospital. In the fray, beautiful young nurse Katie loses her job. Horrors!
The handsome and serious young doctor benefiting from the endowment encourages Katie to seduce the wounded playboy.
Is it probable that both men find the fetching young Katie irresistible? Is it possible that she will choose the virtuous doctor? Who can say? Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Don’t know which one seems more effete to me — Gig or Peter. Poor Jane Greer…
