Short story:

The movie Knock On Any Door, starring Humphrey Bogart and John Derek, is released to cinemas nationwide in the USA. When country singer Faron Young sees the movie he will be so struck by John Derek's line, 'Live fast, die young and leave a good-looking corpse!' that he will write the song Live Fast, Love Hard, Die Young, which will peak at No1 on the Billboard country singles chart in the USA during 1955.
