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.”

Keybook stills are much more rare to come across, especially ones from one of the all-time great movies and all-time great film noirs… Out of the Past! This image of Robert Mitchum as Jeff Bailey ranks up there as one of the best movie stills I’ve ever laid eyes on. Incredibly rare stills and finds like this are why I do this site. An absolute pleasure to preserve and share this treasure of cinema. I didn’t fully restore this still but did spend a good chunk of time restoring it to get it into this quality so it had the look and depth it did when it originally was printed (some surface scratches and blemishes are the only defects that remain).

Caption:
BMG-9 – HUNTED – Robert Mitchum portrays a private detective who is hunted for a gangland doublecross in “Build My Gallows High,” RKO Radio’s hard-hitting melodrama which also stars Jane Greer.

John Harper (Billy Chapin) and Pearl Harper (Sally Jane Bruce) desperately try to escape the menacing Harry Powell (Robert Mitchum) in The Night of the Hunter. The boat sequence I’ve always found to be fantastic with its nightmarish fairy tale realization. Laughton’s choice here to film it that way is quite remarkable to not play it entirely straight and matter of fact.

I have no idea if Sherman Torgan was a fan of this movie or not, but I’ve been saving posting this image for a special occasion, and now in honor of Sherman Torgan (who sadly passed away unexpectedly) I present it. “Out of the Past” is one of my favorite film noir films. It has a timeless and life affirming luster about it. Its vibrant pulse keeps viewers coming for further viewings, while never growing dull and somehow seeming to grow more and more distinct and intimate.
