Odd Man Out
Ireland / 1947

Carol Reed’s masterpiece (though some would argue that to be The Third Man) about the outcome of a botched bank robbery led by Johnny McQueen, the leader of a fictional IRA-type organization, played by James Mason. It chiefly revoles around his attempted getaway and the community of ordinary Dublin citizens, who in an impressively fluid narrative, become involved in Johnny’s situation. This one could stand a much more extended examination and, definitely, repeated viewings.
