Sinopsis:
While Shelley Winters is top-billed, Ricardo Montalban is the real star of My Man and I. Montalban plays Mexican transient farmer Chu-Chu Ramirez, determined to make something of himself and improve his lot in life. He falls in love with disillusioned alcoholic Nancy (Winters), intending to help her overcome her illness. Meanwhile, Ramirez' nasty boss Ansel Ames (Wendell Corey) is shot in an accident. Jealous over the fact that his wife (Claire Trevor) has designs on Ramirez, Ames accuses the Mexican of attempted murder. The manner in which Ames and his wife are forced to tell the truth is one of the oddest (and most compelling) sequences in all of William Wellman's work. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Movie Review
My Man and I (1952)
Drama of Courage of 'Little' People
O. A. G.
Published: September 6, 1952
If William A. Wellman's latest directorial effort, "My Man and I," which is on display at the Palace with a bill of vaudeville, fails to be a completely satisfactory and moving drama of the dignity and courage of "little" people, the least that can be said is that he missed making a fine and rewarding film by an irritatingly small margin. For Mr. Wellman long ago established the fact that he is a talented and genuinely sensitive director with an insight into human foibles which is at once incisive and vastly sympathetic.
While "My Man and I" is a long way above an average or mediocre film, the authors of the script, John Fante and Jack Leonard, did not provide a story with enough substance or understanding to provide a solid basis for a monument to the people with whom they dealt.
Their story, centering on ordinary, unspectacular people, tells us about one Chu Chu Ramirez, a migrant agricultural laborer, a Mexican, who becomes a naturalized citizen of this country. Ricardo Montalban plays the friendly, kindhearted young man who wants only to work hard, have some fun and get a fair shake from the world.
But the world often uses biased dice, as he learns to his misfortune. For he finds himself cheated out of wages by his employer, Wendell Corey, whose wife, Claire Trevor, shabby with ill treatment, turns to Montalban for affection and understanding. But his scruples do not permit a liaison of this nature. Montalban's love and friendship is for a wine-sodden tramp, Shelley Winters, who, sick of life and its callousness, turns him off because she cannot believe that people exist who are just plain good. He eventually convinces her, but not before Mr. Corey and his wife lie him into a jail sentence. The injustice is rectified, but he learns first the sad lesson that fine people make splendid targets.
The cast, almost without exception, is excellent. Outstanding in supporting roles are José Torvay, Carlos Conde, Juan Torena and especially Jack Elam as a gaunt, dour laborer.
"My Man and I" misses being an important picture because its story was not conceived with true concern for its subjects. But the efforts of the director to compensate for this weakness make it worth seeing.
