Review of The Asphalt Jungle (1950) by Mathias N — 19 Mar 2008
Great film noir heist movie from master John Huston. As always tons of memorable one-liners, how about one from Sterling Hayden's sterling portrayal of the Dix-character: Why don't you quit cryin' and get me some bourbon? Overall the actor ensemble is superb featuring memorable performances by James Whitmore, Sam Jaffe and Louis Calhern.
And then that Marilyn Monroe-girl gets her screen debut but that was nothing the write home about...
