The Outrage (1964)
The Outrage is the American version of Rashoman, the famous Japanese story told from multiple points of view. In this stylized tale, a crime has been committed. One man’s version is related from start to finish, convincing the audience of what’s so. Then, a second witness comes forward. His version is different, planting the seed of doubt into the viewer’s head. And so it goes.
Those of you who like to discuss philosophy after a movie’s end have probably seen this film, or another version of it. I like this version because it was produced right after the end of the Hays Code. Violence and sex were allowed in movies during the 1960s, but since it was all new to filmmakers, they didn’t go overboard. While the movie discusses rape and murder, it handles them tastefully. In The Outrage, get ready to see some intriguing performances from Laurence Harvey, Paul Newman, William Shatner, Claire Bloom, Edward G. Robinson, and Howard Da Silva. With a twist during every tale, you won’t know who to trust! And you’ll be talking about the ending long after the credits roll, trust me.
