We're concluding our Noirvember celebration with a quintessential example of the genre. Brandon is joined by, friend of the podcast, Emmett Stanton to break down 1947's Out of the Past. The movie is still as fresh and stylish as it was nearly when it was released. Brandon and Emmett pay tribute to the taut direction by Jacques Tourneur whose use of light and shadow exemplify what noir is all about. The hosts also highlight the performance of the incomparable Robert Mitchum in a career-defining role. Both Brandon and Emmett agree that its Jane Greer who walks away with the film, however, as the ultimate femme fatale.
