[78-L] Odd Man Out^

[Julian Vein]

Bit off topic. Recently watched the 1946 Carol ("The Third Man") Reed's 
"Odd Man Out", a film of unremitting gloom about about a wounded IRA man 
(James Mason) being pursued by the authorities in Belfast. It's all 
perfectly believable until Mason's girlfriend enters a dance hall ("No 
jitterbugging"!) where the band plays the same incessant, unvarying riff 
for about a minute. And, of course, there was jitterbugging. Presumably 
Reed had no idea about what went on in a dance hall or left it someone 
else to direct. Or did bands back then play like that?
