OUT OF THE PAST

Single-Weight, Silver Gelatin, Vintage Photographs (17) (8" x 10")
Very Fine-
RKO, 1947

Presenting a group of seventeen 8" x 10" black-and-white publicity photographs from Jacques Tourneur's classic film "Out of the Past." These photographs showcase Robert Mitchum in the role of Jeff, a former private investigator who seeks to leave his troubled past behind by operating a gas station in a small town. However, his past eventually overtakes him. The majority of these photographs include a paper description on the reverse side and two are linen-backed.

The pinnacle of the film noir genre, director Jacques Tourneur's Out of the Past stars Robert Mitchum as "Jeff Bailey," an ex-private eye attempting to start a new life in a small town. A chance meeting leads a figure from his sordid past straight to his door, forcing him back into the world of brutality and betrayal he sought to escape. Jane Greer is incandescent as the quintessential femme fatale "Kathie Moffet," and Kirk Douglas smolders with quiet menace in only his second big-screen role.
