Out Of The Past - Robert Mitchum and Jane Greer

Out of the Past is a 1947 film noir directed by Jacques Tourneur and starring Robert Mitchum, Jane Greer, and Kirk Douglas.

Film historians consider Out of the Past a superb example of film noir due to its complex, fatalistic storyline, dark cinematography, and classic femme fatale.

I always liked Mitchum despite the fact that he really was a bad boy.

I always liked what they call film noir. I remember an episode of “Smallville” was done in that style and it was one of the best episodes. Directed by Jeanot Scwartz. They even had a billboard with Ray Collins on it during a chase scene.

Cool movie, but I always chuckle near the end, when Jane says: “You dirty rat!” to Mitchum in the car.

Back when men were men and gals were gals.
You could open a door for a lady.
Those were the days.

Remade in the 1980s as “Against All Odds.”

I think Mitchum was great in the original “Cape Fear”. According to Paul Harvey, Mitchum was a bit nervous filming it in Savannah as he had escaped from a chain gang there as a youth.

Also I think he wrote, produced, directed and starred in “Thunder Road”. Oddly they had a professional singer do the theme song but Mitchum did it better.

Rhonda Fleming was one of Hollywood's most glamorous stars.......pictured with another star.

Spooky movie for sure.
El Dorado, if you like westerns.
“...looking at a tin star with a drunk pinned on it.”

he was scary in that movie and that movie was scary and there really wasn’t any “seen” violence in it.
creepy here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0O7YcOZjKD8

he was real scary in Cape Fear....

He would talk about death as such: He knew he was going to die, he just wanted to die last....

That was a time when the mind could (and did) manufacture scenes that could keep a person up all night, just listening to the words on the screen with a bit of sound.

Same with books. I do feel badly for those who do not read much as they tend to lose a bit of imagination.

Watching something and retaining it is not the same as being able to manufacture a scene out of your own innate fears.

I liked him as the drunken sheriff in El Dorado with John Wayne.

Just like old time radio...to this day!
