About the Film:
Odd Man Out [1947 / Carol Reed]
Described as a British film noir, Odd Man Out is set in Belfast, Northern Ireland. James Mason stars as Pr*son escapee Johnny McQueen who has been in hiding. The Nationalist Irish Organization he is a member of (assumed to be the IRA but never named) wants him and his men to pull off a robbery. From the beginning there is a sense that Johnny should stay out of it, another man even offers to take his place, but Johnny is determined. The robbery goes wrong and Johnny is wounded and on the run. Various groups and people are looking for him, some with nefarious plans. He struggles to survive, slipping in and out of shadows. The woman he loves searches for him, hoping she finds him before the police.
The Aurora Film Society
Since 2018, the Aurora Film Society (AFS) has been broadening our community’s collective horizons by screening great movies together. For $60 a year, our subscribers are shown 12 carefully selected & curated movies, works that are historically important & groundbreaking, works that provide a window into far-flung cultures, works that are sometimes overlooked or unavailable to most audiences. The AFS puts a special emphasis on showing the sorts of luminous & idiosyncratic stories from beyond the mainstream that people of the Fox Valley area would normally not have a chance to see in a theatrical setting. We screen every third Wednesday of the month at The Venue.
