Cast and Crew
Director : Jacques TourneurProducer : Warren Duff
Screenwiter : Daniel Mainwaring
Starring : Robert Mitchum,Jane Greer,Kirk Douglas,Rhonda Fleming,Richard Webb,Steve Brodie
Widely hailed as a classic of film noir, Out of the Past is difficult, complex,
and not entirely satisfying. The Robert Mitchum caper has the star as a gas
station attendent with a past shrouded in mystery, namely involving a lot of
money and a dame (Greer), of course. The money and the dame belong to Kirk
Douglas, and most everyone ends up dead. A little too brooding and stylish for
its own good, if you ask me.
Based on the book Build My Gallows High.
