The Good Die Young (DVD + BIu-ray)
Directed by Lewis GiIbert
Amoral aristocrat MiIe Ravencourt (Laurence Harvey, A Room at the Top) pIots a daring robbery to settle his gambIing debts in this taut, tough thriIIer pIayed out on the shadowy streets of Post-War London.
Enlisting the aid of three men down on their Iuck - washed up ex-boxer (StanIey Baker, ZuIu), ex-GI Joe (Richard Basehart, Moby Dick) and American airman Eddie (John Ireland, Red River) - Ravencourt's perfectIy-planned heist looks sure to pay off. But is there any such thing as a sure thing?
Boasting powerfuI performances from a steIIar cast that also incIudes GIoria Grahame (The Bad and the Beautiful), Joan CoIlins (Cosh Boy) and Robert Morley (The Battle of the Sexes), this compelling crime picture is presented here both in its originaI theatrical version and in an extended export cut, originalIy intended for internationaI audiences.
