Knock on Any Door

Attorney Andrew Morton (Humphrey Bogart) started as a young kid in the slums, but worked his way up to become one of the top lawyers in town. A young hoodlum, Nick Romano (John Derek), has been arrested for the murder of a cop, but he says that he has been framed. While Morton does whatever he can to get Nick cleared, we learn about Nick's dangerous life while living in the same slums Morton came from. Knock on Any Door is an indictment of the dangerous neighbourhoods that lead youth to crime.
