Episode Description
Out of the Past (1947; Dir.: Jacques Tourneur)
Canon Fodder Episode 62
Daniel and Corky take a long drive into the past to review Robert Mitchum, Jane Greer and Kirk Douglas in Jacques Tourneur’s Out of the Past. The epitome of film noir, Out of the Past is everything your mind conjures when you think about the genre – the shadowy black-and-white photography, the doomed male and femme fatale archetypes, the bleakness and fatalism. But did your hosts Canon-ize the criminally underrated Tourneur, or did they find it Slight against all odds?
