Odd Man Out

So Odd Man Out, a 1947 film noir set in Belfast and directed by Carol Reed (who two years later would direct the much better known The Third Man with Orson Welles and, umm, Oliver--because they are so similar...) clearly plays a big part in Anna and Deeley's stories from their London days. Here's some info for you:

The film is available on DVD (although not from Netflix-- but Susannah DID find it at Le Video).

Finally, a bit about Robert Newton, who everyone thinks is so fantastic: He was a British character actor, best known for playing Long John Silver in Treasure Island (1950) and Bill Sykes in David Lean's 1948 Oliver Twist. For more than you may ever want to know about him, he has a fan site:
