Odd man out

Carol Reed is a hundred. Or at least he would be if he hadn't died in 1976. To celebrate in the UK they are showing a movie in which an IRA leader trying to escape from the police after an ill-advised bank robbery meant to replenish Republican coffers. The movie is Odd Man Out which was made way back in 1946. The movie however could have been a recent thing.

They are also showing The Fallen Idol and this most famous movie, The Third Man.

This means that the prints are available. Could someone tell the guys in charge of the Cork Film Festival please. I mean, it is in theory an Irish film
