Unless I'm mistaken, Sam Jaffe got a Supporting Oscar nomination for ASPHALT JUNGLE. I met Marc Lawrence (with his son) many years ago, waiting in line to enter the Directors' Guild for the memorial tribute to John Huston. I got a great kick out of schmoozing with him about old Hollywood, but I'm sorry to say I had completely forgotten that he had worked with Huston, so none of the films I asked him about was ASPHALT JUNGLE or KEY LARGO. BTW, Lawrence wrote an autobiography:
Arthur, I missed this thread when you first posted it, but happily I was watching that night anyway. (Very little on TCM gets by me.) Thanks for heralding a wonderfully-programmed selection of flicks. What a terrific night of movie-watching.
