Keybook stills are tough to come by and this rare one from featuring Jane Greer and Robert Mitchum from one of the all-time best film noirs and one of my own personal favorites is no exception!
 
Caption:
BMG-88 – CORNERED – Literally and pictorially, faithless Jane Greer finds herself confronted by Private Eye Robert Mitchum, in this tense scene from RKO Radio’s melodrama, “Out of the Past.”

Dshanya requested more from this film off the Cinema is Dope Facebook Fan Page and here an addition is (with more on the way this month)!
 
If you are a film festival programmers or looking to program this film for any type of event, I highly recommend the new digital restoration of it that I saw at Cannes in 2009. Further notes on it below.
 

Restoration Notes:
 
The restoration of Giu la testa is based on the original camera negative and on the magnetic soundtracks provided by the Sergio Leone Estate. This copy corresponds with the complete version of Sergio Leone’s approved edit from 1971. The Techniscope camera negative was scanned at 2k resolution and digitally restored; color correction was made using a positive print from 1971 as a reference.
 
The English soundtrack was restored from the original magnetic materials used for the monophonic mixing. The film was restored by Cineteca di Bologna at L’Immagine Ritrovata laboratory in 2009, under the auspices of the Sergio Leone Estate.

Red (Morgan Freeman): We sat and drank with the sun on our shoulders and felt like free men. Hell, we could have been tarring the roof of one of our own houses. We were the lords of all creation. As for Andy – he spent that break hunkered in the shade, a strange little smile on his face, watching us drink his beer.

 
This film, also one of my favorites, often sits atop #1 voted movies on IMDb and some 16 years later it continues to resonate and inspire.

I ended the last decade with a rare restored still from The Wild Bunch (here) and am kicking off this new decade with this perfect one to walk us into it. What new great cinema awaits? I have no idea but I’m greatly excited! To a new decade of cinema, I raise a toast and say bring it on… while also hoping for more original great works! To all the fans of the site, I hope I give you something that you enjoy as I continue to explore cinema here.

Goodbye 2009 and the decade of 2000! In the near distance now we have 2010 about to set with a new decade upon us. To close out this year and decade as such, here is an appropriate and rare behind the scenes still of the filming of Shootout at Bloody Porch with Warren Oates, William Holden and Ernest Borgnine.
