sg-78949 What a movie great story and stars dependable quality writing just sit enjoy and don't analysise

sffs-34868 This movie will want to make you throw pomade in your hair, light up a camel cigarette, and talk extra fast. Black and white, backdoor trickery, and clean suits is definitely why I chose this movie over any modern Judd Apatow film. Robert Mitchum who is pure outlaw versus Kirk Douglas who is hard fisted gangster. With guns, whitewalls, and femme fatales you'll definitely want to go back in time with Out of the Past

billcr12 Robert Mitchum is Jeff Bailey, a man with a mysterious past. He owns a small gas station in the middle of nowhere. Along comes a guy who has an offer he can't refuse. Thus begins a series of twists and turns that will hold your attention for the entire movie. A few years earlier, Bailey was a private eye hired to track down Kathie (Jane Greer), the main squeeze of a mobster, Whit (Kirk Douglas). She wounded Whit with a gunshot and took off with $40,000. Bailey tracks Kathie in Mexico and she turns out to be a femme fatale. The cast is tremendous and I do not wish to spoil the plot and so I will just recommend this great 1947 film and hope that twenty first century viewers can overlook the fact that this is an old fashioned black and white classic.

s-gonyea I thought the movie Out of the Past was a a pretty great movie for the time it was made in. I thought that the sounds and various tempos, and moods helped this movie to be an intriguing movie.I thought the people playing the characters in this movie were very good.It seems as though the cast worked together pretty well. Every character interacted with one another. This helped the movie with its very dramatic scenes. Jane Greer as Kathie Moffat was a very interesting character because she had all of the men falling for her. It was like she had them all wrapped around her finger.The movie has a very dramatic mood in my opinion, and that made it interesting to watch in my opinion. The director ( Jacques Tourneur) used great camera shots. The shot where the trees in the forest, to the shots of San Francisco were full of shadows at night. The cinematography of Nicholas Musuraca is amazing. I thought it was crazy that most of the characters were smoking. It showed that they were scene as tough in my opinion. Its weird to think that most movies now that are made do not show anyone smoking. It just shows how different a few decades can make a difference.Overall, I thought this movie was good. I would rate it a 7/10.
