The Asphalt Jungle (1950)
Covers the planning, execution, and aftermath of a heist gone wrong. Crime doesn't pay and all that, I guess. Jean Hagen is marvelous as a down on her luck gal who has a thing for Hayden. The major injustice is that all the advertising (posters, lobby cards, etc.) I've seen for this film ignore Jean Hagen and instead feature Marilyn Monroe, who had a glorified bit part.
