Odd Man Out
Carol Reed / GB, 1947 / 115 min.
If you think of Carol Reed, you think of The Third Man. Much less famous is Odd Man Out also by Reed, a film noir classic featuring James Mason as a fugitive IRA rebel. Mason stars as a man in extremis, lost in the labyrinth of narrow, rainy streets.
Northern Irish rebel leader Johnny McQueen (James Mason) robs a bank for the good cause on behalf of ‘The Organisation’ that fights British repression. The bank job goes wrong and Johnny, after injuring one of the staff, goes on the run in Belfast’s murky alleys.
