Odd Man Out is a 1947 film directed by Carol Reed and starring James Mason in his Star-Making Role.It takes place over a single afternoon and evening in an unnamed city in Northern Ireland that is obviously Belfast. Johnny McQueen (Mason) is the leader of a cell in an unnamed "illegal organization" that is obviously the Irish Republican Army. As the film opens, Johnny and his gang are planning to rob the safe of a local textile mill, seeking cash to fund operations and provide for the dependents of IRA members. The only problem is, the rest of the gang is worried about Johnny's leadership. Johnny was in prison for six months and then he spent six more months in hiding, holed up in the home of his girlfriend Kathleen, and the others have noticed that Johnny seems to have gone a little bit soft. Both Kathleen and Johnny's lancer Dennis urge him to sit the robbery out, but he refuses.It turns out that they were right to worry. Johnny has a dizzy spell at the worst possible moment as the gang is escaping from the textile mill. He's stopped by a man from the mill, and in the struggle the mill worker is fatally shot and Johnny is seriously wounded in the arm. To make matters worse, he can't get into the car during the frantic getaway and eventually falls out onto the street as the car careens through Belfast. Johnny staggers away and eventually finds a temporary hiding place in an old bomb shelter. He spends the next several hours bouncing around Belfast, getting steadily weaker and weaker from loss of blood, while Dennis and Kathleen try to save him, the police try and catch him, and various civilians either try to stay uninvolved or seek to turn him in for the reward.It's considered a classic of British cinema, winning the inaugural BAFTA Award for Best British Film and often gracing lists of the best British films of all time. | |

I Was Quite a Looker | |
| Odd Man Out / int_126ce03c | comment |
I Was Quite a Looker: Granny points to her old wedding picture and says to Kathleen, "I was 19 then, and as lovely as yourself." Then she talks some more about how all the young men of the neighborhood pursued her. She's not just reminiscing, she has a point; she dumped a rascally outlaw in favor of a dependable husband, and Kathleen should do the same. | |

Punch-Clock Villain | |
| Odd Man Out / int_20860a0e | comment |
Punch-Clock Villain: The police inspector hunting for Johnny. He's intimidating, but fair-minded. He warns Kathleen that Johnny belongs to the law now and there's nothing she can do for him. It's also debatable whether a policeman simply doing his job (and not doing anything illegal or unethical in the process) can be called a "villain", so arguably he's more of a Reasonable Authority Figure. | |

Adaptational Sympathy | |
| Odd Man Out / int_39a41690 | comment |
Adaptational Sympathy: Johnny is portrayed much more sympathetically in the film, which emphasizes his sense of guilt over having killed a guard and his desire to disavow terrorist violence as a means to an end, than in F.L. Green's novel. The film also makes it a point not to take a side in the Loyalist vs. Republican conflict of Northern Ireland, in contrast to the novel's entirely negative portrayal of "The Organization" (IRA). | |

Hidden in Plain Sight: And completely accidentally. Johnny gets shoved into the back of a carriage, where he passes out. "Gin" the carriage driver, who has no idea that a wanted murderer is in his carriage, casually drives up to the police checkpoint. The patrolman sees a man slumped in the back and asks who Gin is carrying. Gen cheerfully says "Johnny!" The cop laughs and waves him through. Gin is horrified to later discover that Johnny really was in the back of his carriage. | |

| Odd Man Out / int_4ef92d0b | comment |
The Atoner: Johnny is racked with guilt over having killed the bank clerk, and was already disillusioned with and ready to renounce crime and terrorism as a means of achieving political aims shortly before the raid. The scene in Lukey's studio where Johnny stands and quotes Corinthians 1:13 lampshades his guilt over his previous lack of kindness and compassion towards others. | |

Hypocritical Humor: When Shell says that he wants to turn Johnny in for the reward, Lukey smacks him around and calls him a dirty rat, supposedly because Shell is unconcerned both with the fact that Johnny is seriously wounded nor with bringing a fugitive to justice - he's just in it for the money. It then turns out that Lukey is equally unconcerned with either Johnny's well-being or with justice being served - he just wants an opportunity to paint a portrait of a dying man. The only difference between Shell and Lukey's selfish motive is that Lukey's is a little more esoteric. | |

| Odd Man Out / int_c98b7916 | comment |
Messianic Archetype: The film is filled with religious iconography. Johnny eventually becomes a Christ-like figure, suffering as he staggers around downtown Belfast in a manner that evokes Christ's journey to Calvary (and encountering people like Shell who wish to turn him into the authorities for monetary reward). Near the end he's reciting New Testament verses. | |

Pinball Protagonist | |
| Odd Man Out / int_eadc018f | comment |
Pinball Protagonist: After he gets shot, Johnny is largely passive for the rest of the movie, other than stumbling around and sometimes drifting on the edge of consciousness. It's not him that's driving the action, but the other people that run into him, like the barkeep who is desperate to get him out of the bar, or the cabbie who is unpleasantly surprised to find Johnny passed out in the back of the cab, the little girl who leads Dennis to Johnny's hiding place, and others. | |

Redemption Equals Death | |
| Odd Man Out / int_f1492605 | comment |
Redemption Equals Death: Johnny had planned on abandoning crime and violence as a means of achieving political ends and is racked with guilt over having killed a man during the botched robbery. It's quite clear that he doesn't fear dying and probably sees his own impending death as just. | |
