Odd Man Out - sounds familliar???


Has anybody noticed this documentary has the same name as Denis Meikle's biography, Roman Polanski: Odd Man Out, first published in 2006 by Reynolds & Hearn Limited?

There's also a Carol Reed film from 1947 with the same name about a wounded IRA man who's trying to evade capture by the police, I've read that this is one of Polanski's favourite films and greatly impressed him when he was a boy. I think this is the likely inspiration for the films title.
