Harry Belafonte was a great actor; as he was a singer, he stopped doing films for ten years to participate and raise money for friend Martin Luther King Jr. during the civil rights movement. Odd Against Tomorrow is memorable to me for its unique storyline, on location NYC shoot, the actors, but also the music score by jazz musician John Lewis
I read once, Belafonte and Poitier made a promise to each other that they wouldn’t take Sambo or Stepin Fetchit type roles. He definitely kept his promise with this movie. Robert Ryan is great as always and when I was young I used to confuse him with Sterling Hayden. Great set up, dialogue and characters.
I love these classics! Thank You for sharing Black Excellence❤
Every time I see this movie, is still intense, and real, because the people go through life not knowing their true identity, and being divided by a artificial construct
That’s crazy I thought “she looks like Cicely Tyson” but checked and it is Cicely Tyson!
This is one of the all time great noir movies.
Se-ri-ous flick!!! Now I see why my Aunt LOVED Belegonte! Suave tna-a-mo-fo. Shelly Winters, one of my all time favorite supporting actresses! Cinematography and score off the chain too. Timeless story line well written. Thank you for introducing me to this film Black Tree TV.
Excellent film, excellent story, excellent pictures etc etc. Thank you.
We definitely need more like you around. Entertaining and educating. Keep it going.
I Finally got to see this movie, Harry Belafonte did a great job as usual. The beautiful Cicely Tyson even had a cameo, and the infamous Shelley Winters! I always thought the woman who played Belafonte's wife in this, was Beautiful, even the woman who played his mistress was Beautiful! The seductress ( some black men's kryptonite) wasn't bad either! Overall, I thought it was a good movie, nice plot, and suspenseful !Harry Belafonte was definitely a good Actor and musician!
Guys, if you like Real movies, ya GOTTA WATCH THIS. Totally noir, and not pretty, but great performances by Belafonte, Ryan and Begley shows life as it really is. For what it's worth, pay attention to that scene in the night club when somebody's singing--that really cracked me up.
So good. Excellent music too. ✨
Saw this one before. Watching it again. So suspenseful.
Thanks for a new good film to start the week off 🙂🙂💐💐 wow was Harry so handsome 💥❤️
Now that's what I call a movie!
Good crime drama with a hater in the middle of the story to throw a wrench in things, with an unexpected ending.
All I could hear him say is "Day Oh.....daaay oooh!" 😂😂
great cast, great film,! thank you, and cheers from italy, robert
Oh, the guy that comes to him in the club that’s the Godfather bodyguard ha ha that’s amazing.
