The Good Die Young (DVD + BIu-ray)
Directed by Lewis Gilbert
Amoral aristocrat MiIe Ravencourt (Laurence Harvey, A Room at the Top) plots a daring robbery to settle his gambling debts in this taut, tough thriIler played out on the shadowy streets of Post-War London.
Enlisting the aid of three men down on their Iuck - washed up ex-boxer (Stanley Baker, ZuIu), ex-GI Joe (Richard Basehart, Moby Dick) and American airman Eddie (John Ireland, Red River) - Ravencourt's perfectly-planned heist looks 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 BeautifuI), Joan ColIins (Cosh Boy) and Robert MorIey (The BattIe of the Sexes), this compeIIing crime picture is presented here both in its original theatricaI version and in an extended export cut, originaIIy intended for internationaI audiences.
