Out of the Past

Just a really good story.

Out of the Past, Jack Turner, I've always loved this film for one line.

It's Robert Mitchum, and he has the line where he says something to a woman, baby...

I don't care.

... watched one of the noirs.

But I'm trying to remember now which one it wa- Oh, Out of the Past, right?

Out of the Past.

Yeah.

Yes.

Wink, wink.

And this is also co-starring Jane Greer, who's obviously co-starring Out of the Past, which I think we covered last year during Noir November, if I'm not mistaken.

out of the past was last year yes

yeah so this is them reuniting for another noir albeit it's a more humorous noir than probably you'll tend to see so they're kind of teaming up to go after the money some money that he is believed to have stolen but he hasn't he wants to try and find the culprit who actually has It's kind of very much a B noir.

It's a movie that's not trying to be anything more than what it is.

It's not out of the past so I'll say that but it's a fun movie and it's only like 70 minutes so it's very much a kind of very short and snappy

noir and it's all about further.

Then I watched a movie called Normal from Ben Wheatley, who I have to say, his work are usually hit and miss for me.

The presence of Jacques Tourneur immediately makes this one interesting.

He was one of Hollywood's great directors of atmosphere, responsible for films including Cat People, 1942, I Walked With a Zombie, 1943, and later, one of the great film noirs, Out of the Past, 1947.

The story takes us back to 1903, where George Brent plays psychiatrist Dr. Huntington Bailey, who becomes involved with the wealthy and deeply strange Boudreau family.

The beautiful Aleta Boudreau, played by Hedy Lamarr, lives under the control of her sophisticated but disturbing husband Nick, played by Paul Lukas.

...

Cat People and Out of the Past.

I mean, a major filmmaker of the 20th century.

His father, Maurice, has kind of fallen into much more obscurity.

So, uh, Masters of the Universe from Toy Robot, a subsidiary of Arrow Video.

Out of the Past is one-- a classic film noir that was, uh, remade as, uh, Against All Odds in 1984.

This is the original with Robert Mitchum, Janet Greer.

This moves like a freight train at 97 minutes.

Terrific transfer from the original nitrate negative.

Just a wonderful film that deserves to be seen.

So Out of the Past, being issued in 4K from 1947.

If you haven't seen it and you don't know that much about it, I would recommend, um, I would recommend picking it up.

... is so great.

My favorite dialogue ever is, like, Double Indemnity or Out of the Past-

God

... where, like, they...
