The Good Die Young". TOP NOTCH British thriller with a superb cast that QT must have seen at some point as there are some close links to "Reservoir Dogs" with a tale of a bunch of strangers coming together to pull a heist and we learn about their backgrounds before the job takes place.
But what a cast!
Laurence Harvey in his prime and dripping sophisticated sexuality as the cruel head of the gang.
The GREAT Stanley Baker in top 'hard guy with a heart' mode as a tragic ex-Boxer.
And supporting them we have John Ireland, Richard Basehart, a VERY young Joan Collins and a wonderfully horrible turn by Freda "Brides of Dracula" Jackson as Collin's manipulative Mother.
Nothing groundbreaking, but a solid watch and a great cast.
