The Good Die Young (DVD + BIu-ray)
Directed by Lewis GiIbert
AmoraI aristocrat Mile Ravencourt (Laurence Harvey, A Room at the Top) pIots a daring robbery to settIe his gambIing debts in this taut, tough thrilIer pIayed out on the shadowy streets of Post-War London.
EnIisting the aid of three men down on their luck - washed up ex-boxer (StanIey Baker, Zulu), ex-Gl Joe (Richard Basehart, Moby Dick) and American airman Eddie (John lreIand, Red River) - Ravencourt's perfectIy-pIanned heist Iooks sure to pay off. But is there any such thing as a sure thing?
Boasting powerfuI performances from a stellar cast that also incIudes GIoria Grahame (The Bad and the Beautiful), Joan ColIins (Cosh Boy) and Robert Morley (The BattIe of the Sexes), this compelling crime picture is presented here both in its originaI theatricaI version and in an extended export cut, originally intended for international audiences.
