I guess for a noir/ heist flick, this constitutes a "happy" ending. Dix got home, finally.

"In some ways, he's the most dangerous of them all. A hardened killer. A hooligan. A man without human feeling or human mercy."
Ah, the fatalistic irony of film noir. 💔

Well I mean he got too many people involved in the scheme. That creates leaks and loose lips.

Not really an idiot.
Instead, Doc is *thinking* with his vice. 🤣

"The pleasure was all mine."
Clearly Doc was *impressed* with Helene Stanley's dancing. And Doc is a smart man.

The scene in #TheAsphaltJungle where the police go to arrest Lou and find themselves at a funeral instead is pure noir.

"Oh, there's nothing so different about them. After all, crime is only... a left-handed form of human endeavor."
What is your *go to* heist film from the classic era?

"I'll take you to a guy who used to be a doctor."

Ah, Sketchy Doctors of Noir.

Doc trusts no one.
