I just saw this movie last night at the Pacific Film Archive at UC Berkeley. Technically, the print was excellent; superb sound and picture from start to finish for a movie of this age. I completely enjoyed this movie's story from beginning to end. If you are a fan of The Third Man, I think you will enjoy this movie. For myself, I think I will make it a point to check out some more Graham Greene stories.
All of the actors were perfect in their parts, but I was most impressed with the little boy who played Phile. The way he would call after Baines and his broken heart after an episode with Mrs. Baines was amazing. Even bit parts like the prostitute at the police station were perfectly cast.
I hope you enjoy this movie as much as I did. Why is it only available on VHS, though?
On a Carol Reed note, I would love to see Odd Man Out on the big screen. Enjoy the movies!
