Review of Knock on Any Door (1949) by Daryl K — 01 Jul 2014
In his debut, John Derek is fine in this courtroom drama/exploration of the root causes of criminality, but Bogart appears to be going through the motions here. For my money, Nicholas Ray is one of the more overrated filmmakers in movie history, and 'Knock on Any Door' manages to get especially preachy toward the end.
