The Asphalt Jungle is showing at Lakewood Public Library in Greater Cleveland, Ohio, on Saturday, February 14 at 6:00 pm. This free screening and discussion is part of an ongoing series hosted by film scholar Terry Meehan.
“John Huston, who practically invented film noir with The Maltese Falcon, returns to the shadowy streets and shady characters that launched his directing career. A criminal mastermind named Doc (Sam Jaffe) is putting together a team to commit a huge jewel heist. He needs a safecracker, a driver, a hooligan and a fixer. The fixer’s younger girlfriend first appears sleeping on a sofa. It’s Marilyn Monroe in a startling scene that lit the fuse to her ‘blonde bombshell’ image.”
