RE/SEARCH Incredibly Strange Films: Live Fast Die Young (1958)

Jill Winters (Norma Eberhardt) runs away, become thieves and live “a sin-steeped story of the rise of the Beat Generation.” Directed by Paul Henreid (the Cardinal from Exorcist II: The Heretic) from a script by Allen Rivkin and Ib Melchior, they find themselves working with Rick (Mike Connors) and Artie (Troy Donahue) and go from slipping guys a mickey when they take them back to their motel rooms to knocking over a post office to get six figures worth of jewels.

Meanwhile, Jill’s sister Kim (Mary Murphy) gets sick of their drunken father and decides to find where her sister is, getting mixed up in all this crime. She’s just lucky that she meets a truck driver named Jerry (Sheridan Comerate) who treats her well and helps her forget that her dad’s drunken friend once tried to touch her.

These girls are supposed to be teens but are instead in their late 20s. Such is the juvenile delinquent film. It played with Girls On the Loose and you can often see pictures of Eberhardt being worn by Slash from Guns ‘n Roses.
