"The Good Die Young" is a 1954 crime thriller made in the UK featuring a number of American characters. It was directed by Lewis Gilbert.

Plot summary

Four men are seen in a car apparently about to commit a serious crime. How each of the previously law abiding men came to be in this position is then explored. 'Mike' (Stanley Baker) is a boxer who is injured and unable to find work, 'Joe' (Richard Basehart) is an out of work clerk who needs to fly to The United States with his young wife (Joan Collins) to escape her clinging and unstable mother. 'Rave' (Laurence Harvey) is a 'gentleman' sponger and scoundrel with gambling debts and 'Eddie' (John Ireland) is an airman with an unfaithful wife who has gone AWOL from the US Air Force. The film concludes by revealing the dramatic sequence of events that follows the opening scene.

Production

The film was shot on location in London and at Shepperton Studios, there are also scenes of BOAC Boeing Stratocruiser aircraft at Heathrow Airport. Laurence Harvey later married Margeret Leighton who played his wife in the film.
