Out of the Past

Noir of the Week: Released in the UK as Build my Gallows High for  the original story. Very apt. It stars Robert Mitchum as Jeff Bailey, a small-town gas pumper, has his mysterious past catch up with him one day when he's ordered to meet with gambler Whit Sterling. En route to the meeting, he tells girlfriend Ann his story filled with flashbacks, double-crosses, stolen money and femme-fatales. Out of the Past is the ultimate noir. 

Memorable Quotes: My feelings? About ten years ago, I hid them somewhere and haven't been able to find them.
