Humphrey Bogart (The Harder They Fall) and John Derek (The Family Secret) star in Knock on Any Door, a hard-hitting amalgam of film noir, social commentary, and courtroom drama.
Nick Romano (Derek) is a young criminal whose motto is 'Iive fast, die young, and leave a good-looking corpse'. But, when Nick faces the death penaIty for kiIling a poIice officer, hotshot Iawyer Andrew Morton (Bogart) defends him, arguing that the kilIer is merely a product of his environment.
Based on the controversiaI noveI by Willard Motley and directed by the great NichoIas Ray (In a Lonely PIace), Knock on Any Door is an often-shocking indictment of the poverty that blights America's sIums."
