Fabrice Cazeneuve's coming-out comedy drama You'll Get Over It (Tu Verras, Ca Te Passeras) was originally aired on television in France. Teenage Vincent (Julien Baumgartner) is the golden boy of his high school and family. He's on the swim team, has an adoring girlfriend in Noemie (Julie Maraval), and a loyal best friend in Stephane (Francois Comar). However, he secretly sees an older Bruno (Nils Ohlund) for discreet sexual encounters. When the new kid at school, Benjamin (Jeremie Elkaim), tries to pick him up, everyone finds out his secret. His previously supportive network begins to falter, while his mean older brother Regis (Antoine Michel) eggs them on. You'll Get Over It was screened at the 2003 San Francisco Gay & Lesbian Film Festival. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide

The Columbia TriStar DVD of Sidney Lanfield's You'll Never Get Rich is a significant improvement over the laserdisc release and any prior home video incarnation. Those previous video releases were all made from source prints that had significant flaws, including serious print scratches and generally soft detail -- not so this DVD, which offers sharp, crystaline textures and a clean full-screen (1.33-to-one) image throughout. The soundtrack has also been improved dramatically; on the laserdisc issue, it was noisy and even distorted at times, if this reviewer remembers correctly -- here it's sharp and clear, though the volume level is still set very low, but it pumps up nicely and cleanly. The Cole Porter score isn't one of his stronger works, but the choreography by Robert Alton keeps things moving in the musical segments, and the comedy takes care of the rest, in between some startlingly beautiful images of Rita Hayworth. And she and Fred Astaire do make a charming screen couple, if not the most dynamic pairing that Astaire was ever part of. The 28 chapters are more than generous for the 99 minute movie, but there are no bonus features of any kind. The DVD opens automatically to a simple two-layer menu. ~ Bruce Eder, All Movie Guide
