jeez, no dame is worth this much trouble. It makes me sad to think the deaf-mute kid is all alone now. "Build my gallows high, baby."

Does any image better represent film noir than the shadows of two men fighting being cast over a dame?

“Fact was that the high price actors there were back up on the studio, like Cary Grant and so on, they got all the lights.. so [Out of the Past] was lit with cigarettes.” - Robert Mitchum

Rich B&W cinematography and maybe the most well written noir dialogue. Robert Mitchum shows, as always, he's one of the coolest son of a guns. So many instant replay quotes: "Well, let's go down to the bar. You can cool off while we try to impress each other." "Nothing in the world is any good unless you can share it." "I never found out much listening to myself." "Build my gallows high, baby."

Mitchum (en papel principal) +4 Douglas (Kirk - de paso) +2 Tourneur +3 e Jane Greer (ata eu cometería un crime se ela o dixese, e o curioso e que Mitchum non o fai) +3 : Isto da para un 10 (esaxerado tal vez, pero hai que meter a zoca algunha vez)

I wouldn't argue with anyone claiming that this was the finest film noir ever made...or the best film of the 40s...or the greatest film of all time. It's that good. Tourneur and Musaraca essentially craft the template for all noirs that came after and Robert Mitchum was never cooler than as Jeff Bailey.

Classic noir from director Tourneur. Amazing dialogue framed around a good story. Mitchum never better. Jane Greer's eyebrows almost a character themselves. Great sexy bit performance from Rhonda Fleming and good early one by Kirk Douglas.

If there was ever a movie that was the very definition of film noir, Out of the Past just may be it. It's got all the noir staples--darkly moody photography, a femme fatale you're not sure if you want to kiss or kill and a grade-A sap knowningly walking into a buzzsaw. Out of the Past gets more amazing with every viewing and not a bad performance or off moment is anywhere to be found. A truly underrated classic.

amazing film and even better tagline: “It’s like lightning kissing thunder when Mitchum makes love to a girl with a gun!”

Brilliant film noir with knock-out performance by Robert Mitchum, second only to his in The Night of the Hunter. The sub stories combined together create a riveting, and intriguing thriller & also romance.

Unforgettable. Cast is first-rate, and Mitchum's legend is founded here. If there ever was a definitive film noir, this is it. Sheer perfection-drink in all the darkness.
