EXTREMELY rare vintage 10x8-inch black and white still from the classic film noir The Asphalt Jungle (1950), shown alongside Marc Lawrence, boldly signed and inscribed in blue felt-tip pen in the late 1960s or early 1970s. In good condition, with minor creasing to the upper left-hand corner. This is the only signed photograph we have ever encountered of tough-as-nails Sterling Hayden, who is probably best remembered by contemporary audiences for his portrayal of the corrupt cop McCluskey, shot dead by Michael Corleone in his iconic coming-of-age moment, in The Godfather (1972).
