5.0 out of 5 stars Odd Man Out
A classic film noir account of the Northern Ireland "Troubles" in the immediate post World War II period. It's very interesting to look at a 65 year old take on the social and political ramifications that fueled the struggle. Now I know where Clint Eastwood found the ending for Grand Torino.

3.0 out of 5 stars Odd Man Out (Korean import)
This imported version of Odd Man Out is acceptable, but I believe that the sound is not perfectly synchronized, so the actor's lines are not in harmony with the movement of their lips. I believe at present that only the Image Entertainment version (which is out of print) is a faithful reproduction. It is my hope that eventually the Criterion Collection will release this...

5.0 out of 5 stars odd man out, February 10, 2011

This review is from: ODD MAN OUT ~ James Mason, Robert Newton, Kathleen Ryan, and Cyril Cusack (NTSC ALL REGION IMPORT) (DVD)
excellent character studies. It was similar to a film noir movie. The pacing was
leisurely but not boring. Excellent acting by James Mason, robert newton and Kathleen
Ryan and the camera angles were interesting. I could feel the actors thinking. I
highly recommend this Max Ophuls film.

4.0 out of 5 stars Gift for someone, April 22, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: ODD MAN OUT ~ James Mason, Robert Newton, Kathleen Ryan, and Cyril Cusack (NTSC ALL REGION IMPORT) (DVD)
This was a gift for a 80 year old man who could not find this movie anywhere and I was ask to see if I could get it through Amazon and of course they delivered. He was very happy for his birthday to have this movie delivered to him.
