Title Information
Director John Huston’s gritty urban crime thriller THE ASPHALT JUNGLE debuts from Warner Home Video UK. Nominated for four Academy Awards®, the film is often hailed as the definitive heist movie and a classic in the film noir genre.
THE ASPHALT JUNGLE features a wide array of rich and complex characters in this hard-boiled thriller about a group of thieves who mastermind a daring plot to pull off a million-dollar jewelry store heist. The film’s superb ensemble cast includes Sam Jaffe, Sterling Hayden, Louis Calhern, James Whitmore and an early appearance by screen legend Marilyn Monroe in only her seventh film role.
Adapted from influential screenwriter WR Burnett’s novel, THE ASPHALT JUNGLE is a fascinating examination of 1950s criminal underworld set against a characteristically bleak, urban backdrop, which is beautifully shot by Henry Rosson, who was nominated for an Oscar for Best Cinematography for his stunning photography in this film.
