JULY 12 · FILMS TO SEE BEFORE YOU DIE
Out of the Past
A film by Jacques Tourneur
w/ Robert Mitchum, Jane Greer, Kirk Douglas
Rated NR
1hr 37min
The quiet life of small-town gas station owner Jeff Bailey (Robert Mitchum) is interrupted when a figure from his shady past, small-time crook Joe Stephanos (Paul Valentine), recognizes him. Stephanos' boss, crooked gambler Whit Sterling (Kirk Douglas), had hired Jeff to track down Kathie Moffat (Jane Greer), a girlfriend who shot Whit and made off with $40,000 of his. Jeff and Kathie fell in love, but she left him to go back to Sterling, who now wants Jeff to settle a few old scores.
Even though you may not be sure who is being double-crossed or why, there's no reason for not getting a substantial melodramatic kick out of "Out of the Past."
