With a cool title sequence, rapid cuts, zoom-ins, extreme closeups, jazzy score and old New York scenery, there are a lot to love in Odds Against Tomorrow. It patiently spends 2/3rd of the film on the characters before the heist. #HarryBelafonte is mesmerizing as a conflicted anti-hero, so is #RobertRyan in his aging grizzly man persona. #GloriaGrahame shows up as saucy next door neighbor of Slater (Ryan) and their scene together is deliciously explosive. #robertwise #filmnoir
