5.0 out of 5 stars How big of a fool can one be?, Mar 30 2001

This review is from: Out of the Past (VHS Tape)
Out of the Past... What can one say?... Just watch it late at nite like its meant to, everyone's asleep and it's four in the morning... Just like Mitchum looked in most of his best roles ...If you love old black and white movies like me, especially noir, this is one of the top ten movies of all time...Dialogue, Come on! Some of the best you'll ever hear. Photography, Ditto! Especially the rain scene in Mexico with the shadows of palms in the cabina...Sum it up, They don't make em like this anymore. Get it!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Ultimate, Mar 6 2000

This review is from: Out of the Past (VHS Tape)
I Remember Jane Greer talking about Mitchum in his bio and the fact that Kirk Douglas was trying to " underact" Mitchum. Greer says " Nobody Could Underact Mitchum.

Its true, and this is one of his great films. As noted the sparkling dialogue such as.... Rhonda Fleming and Mitchum are walking down a corrider towards an elevator..after just leaving her boyfriend..she says ' What did you think of him" Mitchum says " He,s a jerk" Fleming then asks " Why do you say that"?

Mitchum says .." He,s in love with you isnt he! Look for Paul Valentine and Dickie Moore as the mute.Classic Mitchum..

5.0 out of 5 stars SUPERB NOIR CLASSIC....., July 8 2004
By 
Mark Norvell (HOUSTON) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Out of the Past (DVD)
Among the spate of b&w noir films recently released by Universal and Warner's is this classic. Directed on a somewhat higher budget than most noirs of the 40's, Jacques Tourneur used his considerable skill honed on his 40's noir horror films with Val Lewton to fashion a first class thriller of deceit, lies, double crosses, murder, blackmail etc. all wrapped up with a first rate cast. One time gum shoe Robert Mitchum (now running a small town gas station) is tracked down and hired by Kirk Douglas to find his runaway mistress (Jane Greer) who shot him and ran off with $40,000. He finds her in Acapulco and immediately falls for her deceptive charms. She's a femme fatale with more traps in her web than a black widow spider. Of course, things get complicated (there's a murder and Mitchum disposes of the body) and soon Greer is back with Douglas and Mitchum is up to his neck again with another "job"...from Douglas. Mitchum is torn between his love for a good girl (Virginia Huston) and the wily machinations of Greer. And this time, he suspects he's being set up as a fall guy by Greer and Douglas. But Greer has her hooks in him good and it looks as if no one will win. Rhonda Fleming is another bad girl Mitchum contends with and there's more murder and mayhem to be dealt with as the walls close in on everyone. "Out of the Past" is an incredibly entertaining film that pulls you in and doesn't let up. Mitchum narrates the first part of the story (telling how he got involved to Huston) in typical fatalistic deadpan style. This is one of the all-time greats and the DVD print is really crisp and clean. A definite collector's item.
