The most ambitious and accomplished film from Carol Reed (director of THE THIRD MAN, so he’s no slouch!), ODD MAN OUT stars James Mason as an IRA gang leader forced into taking on a bank raid to raise funds for the organization. It’s a tense time and it shows: the hold-up doesn’t exactly go as planned. Unable to cope with the situation’s demands, Mason kills a man and then falls from the speeding getaway car. Badly wounded, he scrambles into hiding and we’re invited to follow his desperate progress as he clings to life while the woman he loves (Kathleen Ryan) searches for him among the shadows.
