Good one Joey! The rest of Lon’s monologue is trenchant in its illumination of the compartmentalized thought process of men in powerful positions regarding their devious behavior (i.e. sexual harassment).

I LOVE Louis Calhern in this film. I think it’s one of the best performances in classic Hollywood.
Ruth! I love everything about The Asphalt Jungle. Calhern was superb in it!
