Closing out the series is this off-kilter portrait of the struggle between idealism and love from director Carol Reed, whose THE THIRD MAN starts this series. Set in the tumultuous city of Belfast, Northern Ireland, the film centers on Johnny McQueen (James Mason), a fresh-out-of-prison Irish nationalist whose newly united crew hatches a plan to knock off a payroll office to fund further resistance efforts. Things quickly go awry and Johnny is abandoned by his comrades, wounded and dying in the middle of the city, with a dead payroll officer and the entire police force nipping at his heels. Johnny's journey to rejoin with the group is highlighted by a delightfully strange mix of genuine sympathizers and greedy poseurs. Blending jet-black humor and phenomenally understated drama, Reed discusses in a very genuine way the plight of a terrorist coming to terms with his own innate humanity. This dark socio-political satire, the unique and oft-unseen predecessor to Reed's most revered works, sets the tone and establishes the aesthetic he eventually became known and loved for. Dir. Carol Reed, UK, 1947, b&w, 116min
