Good Die Young, The

After giving up 'the ring', boxer Mike Morgan (Stanley Baker) gets off the bus from home. Route 170 ran between Wandsworth and Hackney at the time of filming.

Nine Elms Lane now under substantial re-development but the bus stop remains. The gas holder in the film still is part of the Nine Elms Gas Works that closed in 1970.(RL)

East Londonny perhaps. London bus and bus-stop, and two gantries but neither called Elmer!

Nine Elms Lane and the "gantries" are overhead coal conveyors supplying the gas works. One can be seen in www.britainfromabove.org.uk Image Ref:EAW001424 but an excellent, closer, picture of both, nearer to the date of the film can be seen in "Battersea Past" by Patrick Loobey, Plate 61. (RL)

The injured fighter makes his way to a nearby factory. A bit difficult this one, but the film has many London locations.

It was one of the factory premises of T & W Farmiloe Ltd, at the time at 88 Nine Elms Lane but that small portion of road has now been renamed/amalgamated with Kirtling Street. Thankfully, the small window on the premises at the end of the pavement still survives amongst the redevelopment to confirm other research. (RL)

Mike falls to the ground in agony as the gate is slammed on his already broken hand.

The small window at the end of the pavement view is clearer in this shot, in the background is Battersea Power Station, at last, now under substantial re-development. 88 Kirtling Street, London SW8, previously known as Nine Elms Lane. (RL)

After losing his hand, Mike makes his way to a pub where he becomes acquainted with Joe, Eddie and Rave. Looks like a studio set where much of the action takes place.

An establishing shot of London's Waterloo station.

Now! (RL)

American Eddie Blaine sees his fellow GIs waiting for the train back to camp. The concourse of Waterloo station, London SE1.

And after 60 years. (RL)

Eddie Blaine (John Ireland) leaves the station and returns to his apartment where he finds his Wife in the arms of another man. Waterloo Station Approach in SE1.

The same location now from Peter.

Miles 'Rave' Ravenscourt (Laurence Harvey) meets with a Post Office clerk who foolishly gives away details of a £90,000 transfer of used banknotes.

That evening, the four men pull up outside the Post Office as the security van arrives. Highly likely to be a set but included for the sake of completenes.

As the men rob the security van the alarm is raised when shots are fired. A studio set depicting the film's WC3 setting.

The police arrive at the other end of the street. Although intercut with studio scenes of the robbery street, this appears to be a real location.

After Mike is shot, Eddie and Joe get away with the money whilst Rave holds off the police. Policemen walking east in Little Love Lane. The building at left is 37 Wood Street while at right appears to be an aspect of St. Alban's Church. In the distance is the ruin of St. Mary, Aldermanbury in EC2. With thanks to Christopher Matheson and www.londononlocation.co.uk (RL)

This is looking east from Wood Street, which has been widened around the tower of St Alban's ruin. Little Love Lane would have curled off to the south to Love Lane as it approached St. Mary, the ruins and garden of which are behind the current 37 Wood Street now realigned. SJ

Joe (Richard Basehart) crosses several electrified railway lines as Rave pushes Eddie onto an a conductor rail. The cabinets alongside the tracks identify this as a London Underground line and two round pillars can be made out to the right of this dark image.

I can't be 100% certain but the wall in the background looks a lot like the wall in the screen shot and the area is wide enough and with enough tracks to coincide with the film's scene. This is the sidings just southeast of Farringdon station, which also ties in with IMDB's identification. (PW)

Rave and Joe make their way onto fictional High Street station. IMDB claims Farringdon station but it looks more like Barbican to me.

And it is Barbican, the remaining westbound platform with added eastbound train. (PW)

At the next stop, when Joe realises that Rave is killing the robbers one by one, he makes a run and escapes on a train as it departs.

Same station, different train. Barbican westbound platform again. The station entrance is in Aldersgate Street, London EC1. (PW)

Rave watches as the train departs. Barbican station again, which was called Aldersgate and Barbican until 1968.

The same location now. (PW)

After being shot by Rave at the airport, Joe falls to the ground as he and his wife Mary (Joan Collins) are about to fly home.
