That is a very good film, and there is also its "sister" film: Killer's Kiss that should also be considered a must viewing. I sort of treat these two as a pair. With them the *real* Kubrick began.

I have both but consider "The Killing" the better of the two.

  It's been a while since I saw both, so I am not going to argue that point, so I simply keep both.

    Do you think that "The Killing" is a better film than"The Asphalt Jungle". It's been awhile for me for the latter so I think I may dig it out tonight while the former is in my mind.

      I am afraid same thing here - has been too long to judge them conclusively... both fine films. The Jungle maybe stronger overall, with harder more relentless push, thicker atmosphere, if you know what I mean, but that is just my memory.

        I believe this is Marilyn's first role, isn't it?

        It was one of her early ones, not the first one, but she war rather fogettable, I thought.

        Really? I thought she JUMPED off the screen and it's an early (OK, not the first) example of her incredible camera/screen presense.

        Well, maybe... all I am saying is that when I think of Jungle I do not recall her images.
        Maybe it is just me, but she never did anything for me... except perhaps in Some Like it Hot, and that was well before my maturity.
