Live Fast Die Young is a film noirish juvenile delinquent crime movie made by Universal Pictures from 1958.  This film was part of a “teens run wild” film genre that was popular and unique to the late 1950’s and early 1960’s.  This film’s plot features two sisters who run away from home and school.

She eventually falls in with a rough gang of jewel thieves, who plan to knock over a post office that is receiving a package containing 150K in diamonds. Things are going good until her older sister (Mary Murphy) shows up to make trouble. The film’s infamous tagline was
"a sin-steeped story of the rise of the Beat Generation.”  The film co-starred Troy Donahue and Mike Connors (later the star of theTV hit Mannix).
