Odds Against Tomorrow (1959) **** [Wise Double Feature Pt. 2]

Robert Wise’s Odds Against Tomorrow (1959) concerns three desperate, flawed men (one a raging bigot) who plan and commit a heist. With its trio of fantastic performances (Harry Belafonte, Robert Ryan, and Ed Begley), loose structure, exciting jazz score, a social conscience that never comes off preachy, and a tense finale, OAT is a terrific late-era classic period noir.
