Description

Original U.S. Half-Sheet Poster (22x28) Folded Very Good Plus to Fine
In our opinion this great film directed by Jacques Tourneur is perhaps the greatest of all film noirs. The cast is perfect for this story: Robert Mitchum, Jane Greer, Kirk Douglas. Here is an excerpt from Glenn Erickson's review of this stellar film at DVD Savant.com: "In every genre or category of movies there are films that transcend academic pigeonholing, and Jacques Tourneur's Out of the Past is a prime example. One leaves a screening of this doomed romance with a profound appreciation of a key awareness behind film noir: Disillusion and despair in a corrupt but seductive world. A critic once pegged this picture as the perfect "annihilating melodrama." Almost everyone winds up as a corpse, but they're very entertaining on the way to the graveyard. In this postwar phase RKO was supposed to be putting together economical program pictures but this one overachieves on all counts. Howard Hughes favorite Robert Mitchum has his big break here, finally playing the ultra-casual pre-hipster who could have taught Jack Kerouac a few things about the Beat life. Unappreciated Jane Greer plays her femme fatale as a self-contradiction in a tight dress, the irresistible woman whose real name is Trouble. Mitchum's character knows that she's poison and she admits that there's only grief in their future. His answer is "Baby, I don't care!" This is a great film and the half sheet is wonderful. One sheets for this film have now blown through ,000 threshold. This half sheet is a great value. We have graded this poster as very good plus - creasing in the borders and at the folds, edge wear, border tears, light smudges and some mild staining.. This poster is folded, and the colors are vivid. MovieArt Original Film Posters in Austin, Texas guarantees that this poster is an authentic U.S. half-sheet poster for this film.
