Late fifties and early sixties was the period for juvenile delinquency films, in America and also in Europe. So this good fast paced movie describes rather in a good way this search for precisely fast way of living, and also dying. Paul Henried however satisfied me better in his next movie GIRLS ON THE LOOSE, also with female but this time no more juvenile delinquants, but mature female gangsters armed robbers, rougher, tougher than men. Women with men's characters, no more no less. This very one LIVE FAST... focuses on small scale hoodlum girls. Not bad, I repeat, worth watching. Universal studios produced it, very surprising. And the alarm system trick was obviously inspired by RIFIFI, where the gangsters "disconnected" the alarm systen the very same way. This is here a medium noir film, with some gangsters and a heist scheme too, but too much juvenile oriented for my taste.
