Movies Watched -- Odd Man Out (1947)

Added on by C. Maoxian.

116 minute running time so at least 20 minutes too long … kind of interesting, but got talky and super heavy on morality, allegorical, and filled with Christian symbolism so I wasn’t that thrilled … unusual ending, didn’t see it coming … this was a John Farr reco. This guy bothered to identify all the semi-Biblical characters of Odd Man Out .

“… the film is telling me to give Johnny’s situation a more abstract significance. And, finally, that significance comes through loud and clear when Johnny shouts out the agape verses from 1 Corinthians, and Lukey and the doctor discuss his soul. This is not your usual heist movie.” That’s an understatement!

Mister, give us a penny
