Description

Out of the Past (RKO, 1947). Folded, Very Fine+. Half Sheet (22" X 28") Style A, William Rose Artwork.
Out of the Past is a quintessential film noir, weaving a tale of deception, fate, and doomed romance, and remains one of the definitive films against which all other noirs are measured. Robert Mitchum, in one of his most iconic roles, stars as Jeff Bailey, a small-town gas station owner whose dark past resurfaces when a powerful gangster (Kirk Douglas) pulls him back into a web of betrayal. His cigarette-smoking, sleepy-eyed persona in this half sheet perfectly encapsulates the noir antihero, especially as he becomes entangled with Jane Greer's Kathie Moffat, the ultimate femme fatale. Jacques Tourneur's masterful direction cements its status as a true classic of the genre. Just light fold wear on this beautiful condition half sheet. From the Walter Reuben Collection.
