Film: Out of the Past

Tickets: $8

1947, directed by Jacques Tourneur

A nearly perfect example of original film noir, starring Robert Mitchum, Jane Greer, and Kirk Douglas. Daniel Mainwaring wrote the script from his own novel Build My Gallows High. Mitchum cannot seem to extricate himself from an entanglement with mobster Douglas and his mistress Greer. Tourneur’s taut direction and celebrated atmospheric pictorialism generate a memorable sense of tragic inevitability. In English. 97 minutes.

Once again, Bard SummerScape is pleased to present all titles on 35mm film (whenever possible).
