Quotes
Tony Brown: Father was known as the "King of Chemical Fertilizer." It sounds awful but it's really wonderful stuff. I'll send you some. It's good on everything. Anyhow, I guess that makes me the "Crown Prince of Fertilizer."

It's hard to really like anyone in this rom-com.

"You for Me" is a very problematic film. While it's clearly a rom-com, it suffers from a fatal flaw....you just can't like anyone in the story!

The story begins with an irresponsible rich guy (Peter Lawford) getting shot in the butt in a hunting accident. Because Tony Brown (Peter Lawford) is so rich and important, the hospital drops everything to treat him--calling nurses and doctors in to perform an emergency operation....not that it was exactly life saving! One of the nurses, Katie (Jane Greer), is peeved that the patient is so spoiled and she tells him off...and soon she not only finds herself out of a job but the hospital out of an endowment from Tony. So, Katie spends much of the film kissing up to that playboy in order to get money from her for the hospital. And, it's not only her...everyone seems to have their hands out to Tony and even Katie's family exploits the guy. Dr. Chadwick (Gig Young) is not amused by all this and it's obvious he's smitten with Katie...as is Tony.

Dr. Chadwick is a grouch, Katie and her family are users, Tony is an irresponsible jerk and, well, pretty much everyone you see in the film is nasty--either wanting Tony's money or acting grouchy for little reason. After a while, it felt like a chore trying to stick with this one....and it's a shame as the film does have an excellent cast. The problem is the script.
