'''''One Take Only''''' ({{langx|th|ส้ม แบงค์ มือใหม่หัดขาย}}, also ''Som and Bank: Bangkok for Sale'') is a 2001 [crime](/source/crime_film)-[drama film](/source/Drama_(film_and_television)) written and directed by [Oxide Pang](/source/Oxide_Pang).

==Plot==
Bank is a small-time hoodlum in [Bangkok](/source/Bangkok). He uses drugs, and sometimes works for some local gangsters, smuggling guns and drugs. One day he meets Som, a teenage girl who works as a [prostitute](/source/Prostitution_in_Thailand). The pair fall in love, and in a bid to better their lives, they get into a drug deal that is too big for either of them.

==Production and release==
Originally named ''Som and Bank: Bangkok for Sale'', the film is part of the loose "Bangkok trilogy" by [the Pang Brothers](/source/the_Pang_Brothers), which includes their ''[Bangkok Dangerous](/source/Bangkok_Dangerous_(1999_film))'' and [Danny Pang](/source/Danny_Pang_Phat)'s ''1+1=0'' (''[Nothing to Lose](/source/Nothing_to_Lose_(2002_film))'').

''Som and Bank'' had been completed in 2001 before production commenced on their ghost film, ''[The Eye](/source/The_Eye_(2002_film))''. The film had screened in November 2001 at the Bangkok Film Festival, but the studio, [Film Bangkok](/source/BEC-TERO), then shelved the film until February 2003, releasing it after Oxide Pang had re-edited it. The [Board of Censors](/source/Censorship_in_Thailand) objected to the title of the film, so it was renamed ''One Take Only''.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20030424091347/http://www.movieseer.com/ReviewsBil.asp?moID=2607&rID=358&Channel=2 Movie Reviews]</ref>

The film was also screened at the [International Film Festival Rotterdam](/source/International_Film_Festival_Rotterdam), the [Hong Kong International Film Festival](/source/Hong_Kong_International_Film_Festival), the [San Francisco International Film Festival](/source/San_Francisco_International_Film_Festival), the [Asiatica Film Mediale](/source/Asiatica_Film_Mediale) and the [NatFilm Festival](/source/NatFilm_Festival) in 2002.

The film was released on DVD by [Tartan Films](/source/Tartan_Films) on August 22, 2006. Confusingly, it  has also been released on DVD in Thailand as ''Som and Bank: Bangkok for Sale''.
