Review of Knock on Any Door (1949) by Scott S — 16 Oct 2011
Knock on Any Door (1949) -- [4.0] -- Humphrey Bogart defends a juvenile delinquent (John Derek) in this uneven and heavy-handed flick from director Nicholas Ray. Didn't care for Derek in this movie, but Bogey makes a nice courtroom stand at the end.
The best thing about this movie is that it probably inspired Ray to continue exploring similar themes in his later, greater "Rebel Without a Cause.".
