The film which made a star of Robert Mitchum in his role of the ex-private detective turned garage owner. The brilliant dialogue, fine central performances and rich visual style have long established the movie as a classic film noir and the masterwork of regular RKO director Jacques Tourneur. Known in America as Out of the Past, this tough drama of double-cross and revenge is also memorable for its strong characterisation and intense atmosphere.
