    This time we’ll be looking at two classic noirs from 1947 and a neo-noir from the last decade.

    The first, Out of the Past, is usually regarded as either the greatest or the second greatest (after Double In-demnity) noir ever made.

    The second, Odd Man Out, was filmed in Belfast, Ireland, and is arguably James Mason’s (the star) greatest film performance.

    The third, Drive, (2011) stars Ryan Gosling who can sing and dance and does neither in this film in which he is an icy professional driver for gangsters who makes it clear that he is the last person you ever want to cross.
