James Mason, Kathleen Ryan.
Taking place largely over the course of one tense night, Carol Reed's psychological noir, set in an unnamed Belfast, stars James Mason (Lolita) as a revolutionary ex-con leading a robbery that goes horribly wrong. Injured and hunted by the police, he seeks refuge throughout the city, while the woman he loves (Kathleen Ryan) searches for him among the shadows.

REVIEWS & SUMMARIES
Library Journal ReviewCOMMUNITY REVIEWS
Outstanding Noir/Drama submitted by kencza on June 20, 2022, 9:10pm James Mason as the recently released, injured resistance leader. Hiding in the shadows avoiding capture and getting weaker by the minute. Filmed in a way to enhance the frustration and tension while Kathleen Ryan searches for him as well as the police.
