Asphalt Jungle, The (Dvd Movie)

Oscar-winning director John Huston's comprehensive and widely-acclaimed Film Noir "The Asphalt Jungle" featured an extensive cast, including Sterling Hayden (later of Dr. Strangelove fame) and an early film performance by Marilyn Monroe. In this Film Noir classic, now on DVD, a group of professional criminals put together an elaborate jewel heist, only to have it unravel disastrously (per Film Noir convention) when a crooked cop gets wind of their scheme. The film itself was well-received during its release, and nominated for several Academy Awards (including Best Director), as well as 3 Golden Globes. John Huston also directed another crime classic, the "Maltese Falcon", as well as "Treasure of the Sierra Madre," so it is no surprise that "The Asphalt Jungle" was such a ground-shaking feature.
