Odd Man Out

So I'm probably overstating the obvious by bringing this up, but... why is it that this film has yet to be given the Criterion Treatment? Whereas Reed's other two classics of the late Forties, The Third Man and The Fallen Idol, have? An extraordinary film, in all ways, direction, cinematography, screenplay, performances... If any film is deserving, it's this one.

The book that for me opened the door to European noir, the French films in particular: The Movie Book of Film Noir, edited by Ian Cameron. Specifically, Ginette Vincendeau's essay entitled "NOIR IS ALSO A FRENCH WORD: The French Antecedents of Film Noir", contained therein. The Detroit Public Library had a copy of the book that I would take out repeatedly back in the late Nineties, until I finally acquired one of my own. It also contains a very thorough essay on the films noirs of Robert Siodmak.
