The Gentle Gunman

Terence (John Mills) and Matthew (Dirk Bogarde) Sullivan are two Irish Republican Army men in London during World War II. Terry starts questioning the worth of the IRA's war against the United Kingdom that involves planting bombs in a crowded London Underground station and becomes marked for death by the IRA. In addition to Terry's questioning of the IRA's methods, Matt is affected by a mother whose husband and son had joined the IRA with fatal results. Though Matthew escapes capture in London, his comrades-in-arms Connolly (Liam Redmond) and Patsy (Jack MacGowran) are captured by the British police. Both Terry and the IRA leader Shinto (Robert Beatty) vow to free the men and bring them from their trial in Belfast to safety in the Republic of Ireland, but Shinto favours more violent methods than Terry.
