The Good Die Young (1954)
This British crime drama stars Stanley Baker and also includes a young Joan Collins in a supporting role. Four men from differing back grounds are down on their luck and all have women problems, is crime the solution?
There is nothing especially original about this film and unfortunately it ends up being a bit of a weak effort as it spends far too long building up the back story for the characters. It is nearly two thirds of the way into the film before we really get down to the meat and potatoes of the story and this means there is very little drama or tension. When we finally do get to the crime itself and the resolution that greed corrupts it is far too little and far too late.
2/5 weak effort.
