    It seems inappropriate to classify [Ye Lan Ren Wei Jing] as a stealing movie. The crime is not the core of the film, the people who are in and around the crime are. Houston has softened the grip of the theft process, but has increased his concern for the characters involved. It is relying on this spirit of humanity and the excellent performances of all the actors that this film has gained the tragic power of the aftertaste. In addition, the film has a concise, direct and economical lens style...

    I've been obsessed with noir films for a while, but I haven't even seen the films of John Huston, the father of noir films, so how dare I say that I like noir films. I saw this classic crime movie by John Huston today, and it was really good. First of all, the actor Sterling Hayden reminded me of the classic black film "The Killer" of Lao Ku starring him, and the theft scene in the middle reminded me of "The Fight of Men". But this "Night at Night" is the...

    redundant image

    The composition is delicate but not extreme; the narrative structure is loose; the pace is slow; the characterization is mixed. Overall, the film is more innovative than the noir of the 1940s, but it falls short. In particular, the character settings are not concise enough, such as private...

    The Asphalt Jungle est un film contrasté, non seulement dans le sens où il s'agit d'un film noir dont le clair-obscur fut une composante indispensable, mais aussi comment Huston nous montre la confrontation et les oppositions - celle des polices et des criminels, celle du jour et de la nuit (où le...

The Asphalt Jungle quotes

  • Police Commissioner Hardy: He left prison yesterday at 12 noon, took a train for this city, time of arrival, 3:17. All you had to do was stay with him for 24 hours. If he didn't register, lock him up. What happens? He loses you five blocks from the depot, and a dangerous criminal is at large in this city.

    Lt. Ditrich: Two men on that detail ought to get medals for dumbness.

    Police Commissioner Hardy: They were assigned by you. You should get one too.

  • Taxi Driver: I wouldn't go parading around this neighborhood with a suitcase. Some of these young punks might clip you just to get a clean shirt.
