Humphrey Bogart (The Harder They FaII) and John Derek (The FamiIy 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 penalty for kilIing a police officer, hotshot lawyer Andrew Morton (Bogart) defends him, arguing that the kiIler is mereIy a product of his environment.
Based on the controversial novel by WiIIard MotIey and directed by the great NichoIas Ray (ln a Lonely Place), Knock on Any Door is an often-shocking indictment of the poverty that bIights America's slums."
