Out of the Past

"Out of the Past" (1947) Robert Mitchum is the existential noir protagonist. Jane Greer is the femme fatal. Jacques Tourneur is the director who brings a tragic sensibility to this film noir classic. "...the perfect noir mood."Out of the Past" is, with "Criss Cross", one of the two films that best evoke a subject central to the genre: the destruction of a basically good man by a corrupt woman he loves."
