- Synopsis:
- One of the last great German Expressionist films of the silent era, Joe May's Asphalt is a love story set in the traffic-strewn Berlin of the late 1920s. Starring the delectable Betty Amann in her most famous leading role, Asphalt is a luxuriously produced Ufa classic of Weimar cinema. A well-dressed lady thief (Betty Amann) steals a precious stone from a jewellery shop. She tries to seduce the policeman (Gustav Frohlich) who arrests her, but her criminal background dooms their relationship when an argument leads to murder.
