Out of the Past / USA / 1947
With this and The Lusty Men, I’ve been trying to discern Robert Mitchum’s star persona. With his brick-shithouse build and pot-heavy eyelids, Mitchum seems to evoke the image of a big dope (or dopehead), but his well-concealed intelligence (frequently denied by him in his dialogue) is perceptible and is the quality that most elicits our sympathy. In Out of the Past, Mitchum’s History of Violence-like transition from honest gas-pumper to cold-blooded hood is represented by a change in clothing (rustic plaids to trenchcoat and fedora), but the watchful and laconic demeanour remains consistent.
