“I understand what I see in him. It's the truth about us all.”
A wounded Irish nationalist leader attempts to evade police following a failed robbery in Belfast. Carol Reed's under-
appreciated classic fails to engage with the politics of the Irish conflict, a subject matter that was prone to censorship
at the time due to its sensitive nature, but makes up for it with its heartbreaking exploration of humanity and faith,
all anchored by James Mason in one of his finest performances.
