The song "The Green Green Grass of Home," which was the first #1 hit for Tom Jones, was written by Curly Putman after he watched Sterling Hayden's death scene in this film. #FilmNoirClub #TheAsphaltJungle

According to the Hays Code at the time, the film had to show that "crime doesn't pay," and every criminal character ended up either arrested or dead. 

What an ending for Dix, and what a stunning shot.

Shortly before Jean Hagen died in 1977, Sterling Hayden sent her a copy of his 1963 autobiography, "Wanderer." In the handwritten dedication, he spoke of Doll and Dix, their characters' names. #FilmNoirClub #TheAsphaltJungle

This #filmnoir starts in the city and ends in the country, much like another great noir, On Dangerous Ground (1951) starring Ida Lupino and Robert Ryan. #FilmNoirClub #TheAsphaltJungle

Jean Hagen's performance really shines in the final third of #TheAsphaltJungle. Given that Dix's motives are really pure, "Doll" is us, and we become the "Doll". ❤️

The musical scoring (by Miklós Rózsa) is extremely scant, occurring only for the main titles, continuing through the opening sequence where Handley enters the café, and then returns 107 min later when Dix and Doll return to the country. Total scoring just under 6 min. #FilmNoirClub #TheAsphaltJungle

A February 1950 "Daily Variety" news item noted that John Maxwell, who plays a doctor in the picture, "made such a hit with preview audiences" that MGM reshot a portion of the title credits to include his name. #FilmNoirClub #TheAsphaltJungle

Exactly. You can't blame him, but they are his kryptonite, where he is so disciplined in all other ways of the heist.
