I think the Asphalt Jungle is my husband’s favorite movie, lol. I think we’d watch it each and every night if he had his way. (We watch a movie every night during dinner.)

We don’t associate Orson Welles with film noir all that much - but he made one of the best. He put all his friends in it too. Who can forget Marlene saying to the obese Welles: “You should lay off the candy bars, you’re a mess.” I think Orson may have been padded at that point in his career or used it as an opportunity to spend every night at Chasen’s.

LOL...you, your husband and I and my spouse tend to enjoy the same movies and plays; not to mention that fact that we often watch a great old movie over dinner, too and I didn't know that you also did, until now.

No, I don't usually associate Welles with film noir, either, though he DID make a couple of them.

Very funny line, that Marlene had!
