MovieMail's ReviewAn archetypal film noir with a classic twist: its narrative flashbacks are urban, but much of the action takes place in a rural setting. Directed at RKO with memorable visual flair by Jacques Tourneur, it contains all the genre’s familiar conventions: doom-laden souls struggling through a heavily shadowed atmosphere of passion and betrayal; tightly meshed suspense full of double and triple-crosses; a cynical femme fatale; a man trying to escape his past and the mobster out for his blood. This is Mitchum at his sleepy-eyed, sneering, tough-guy best, hiding out in a small town until his past catches up with him. With stunning cinematography by Nicholas Musuraca, Out of the Past is simply one of the most definitive crime pictures Hollywood ever made.
