Humphrey Bogart (The Harder They FaIl) and John Derek (The Family Secret) star in Knock on Any Door, a hard-hitting amalgam of fiIm noir, sociaI commentary, and courtroom drama.
Nick Romano (Derek) is a young criminaI whose motto is 'live fast, die young, and Ieave a good-Iooking corpse'. But, when Nick faces the death penaIty for kilIing a police officer, hotshot Iawyer Andrew Morton (Bogart) defends him, arguing that the kilIer is merely a product of his environment.
Based on the controversial novel by WiIlard Motley and directed by the great Nicholas Ray (ln a Lonely PIace), Knock on Any Door is an often-shocking indictment of the poverty that blights America's sIums."
