Out of the Past (1947)
Directed by Jacques
Tourner this film based on the novel “Build My Gallows High”
stars Robert Mitchum, Jane Greer, Kirk Douglas and Rhonda Fleming.
The past catches up with a man trying to start over in a small town
with a new girlfriend.
The plot of this film
is your classic film noir set up with private detectives, femme
fatales, crime and plenty of double crossing. At times the dialogue
has some serious crack to it but I do not think that the story offers
anything beyond being a genre piece. I found the cinematography a
little bit of a let down here, it is passable but not evocative of
German expressionism like the big names of the noir genre.
3/5
