Review of The Asphalt Jungle (1950) by Sebastien C — 15 Dec 2007
Solid, gritty crime drama PACKED with great performances. James Whitmore and Sterling Hayden stand out as down on their luck criminals, violence seething underneath them, but yet will go out of their way to feed a stray cat or provide a safe haven for a wayward dame.
Sam Jaffe is great, and a young Marilyn Monroe is absolutely stunning. It's very clear why she became such a huge star from her small role in this. A dark, gripping heist story with a beautiful ending.
As a fan of noir flicks, this is an excellent addition.
