The Asphalt Jungle (1950)
7/10
"Recently released from prison, Dix Handley (Sterling Hayden) concocts a plan to steal $1 million in jewels. Dix gathers a team of small-time crooks, including a safecracker (Anthony Caruso) and a lawyer (Louis Calhern)."
Also has a young Marilyn Monroe. It's a bit of a light drama, with a classic film noir setting (but without a detective/dick), and heist film features, but mostly it's not exciting. The characters are semi-likeable anti-heros, and it's a morality play at the same time. I can't say I liked it, but it's made well... matter of taste.
