OUT OF THE PAST aka BUILD MY GALLOWS HIGH (Dir: Jacques Tourneur, 1947).
Adapted from his novel by Geoffrey Homes, this classic thriller from the golden era of film noir stars Robert Mitchum as a former PI with a shady past and Jane Greer as the femme fatale he is hired to find by louche businessman Kirk Douglas in a star-making performance.
Mitchum has a new life and new girl in very un-noirlike rural Bridgeport California. But his past soon drags him back to his sordid big city life and back into the arms of his client’s cheating, murderous gal.
This terrific movie is like a film noir checklist with cutting dialogue, shadowy cityscapes and moody atmosphere to spare.
Out of the Past is a classic of it’s genre.
