Leave your thoughts about Out of the Past.
| Time OutDon MacphersonAll these B movie poets were under contract to RKO in the winter of 1946, and produced the best movie of everyone involved -- once seen, never forgotten. |
| Parallax ViewSean AxmakerIn a genre full of desperate characters scrambling and plotting to grab their slice of the American dream, Jacques Tourneur's Out of the Past (1947) is a hard-boiled tale of betrayal with an unusually haunting quality. |
| The TelegraphRobbie CollinBeguiling and resolutely ominous, this hallucinatory voyage has two more distinctions: as the only movie with both a deaf-mute garage hand and death by fishing-rod, and as one of the most bewildering and beautiful films ever made. |
| San Francisco ExaminerBob StephensPast, an inestimable collaboration by Tourneur and Mitchum, is not just one fine noir film among many. It has been a guage for the genre, even a template, over the last 50 years. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleOut of the Past is cinematic perfection, a Hollywood classic that's as great and as enjoyable as its reputation has promised. |
| Tim Dirks' The Greatest FilmsTim DirksOut of the Past (1947), (aka Build My Gallows High, its title in Britain), is one of the greatest, multi-layered film noirs of all time... |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonJacques Tourneur directed one of the all-time greatest film noirs with Out of the Past, which also gave Robert Mitchum one of his two greatest roles. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertOut of the Past is one of the greatest of all film noirs, the story of a man who tries to break with his past and his weakness and start over again in a town, with a new job and a new girl. |
| The DissolveKeith PhippsOut Of The Past is undeniably a film noir, and rightly regarded as one of the genre’s best. |
| Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)John Beifuss'Maybe we thought the world would end,' Mitchum muses, during a short-lived spell of happiness in Mexico. 'Maybe we thought it was a dream.' A dream? In his trench coat and fedora, he's clearly not a man destined to die quietly in his bed. |
