    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      James Mason called this his best performance of his career, and his favorite Sir Carol Reed film.
    • Goofs
      When the two ladies bring in McQueen to tend to him (thinking that he has been hit by a truck), one of them cuts up the arm of his coat, while being told that she is ruining the man's coat. Then she tries to take the coat off, after ruining it, and finds out that he's been shot. Then she needlessly bandages up his arm, onto which he had been bleeding from his shoulder wound, even though there is no injury on his arm.
    • Quotes
      • Johnny McQueen: I remember. When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I thought as a child, I understood as a child. But when I became a man, I put way childish things. Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels and have not charity, I am become a sounding brass or a inkling cymbal. Though I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries and all knowledge and though I have all faiths so that I could remove mountains and have not charity... I am nothing.
    • Crazy credits
      Opening credits prologue: This story is told against a background of political unrest in a city of Northern Ireland.

      It is not concerned with the struggle between the law and an illegal organisation, but only with the conflict in the hearts of the people when they become unexpectedly involved.
    • Alternate versions
