Out of the Past

The laconic, world-weary Robert Mitchum plays a gas station owner who is desperate—but unable—to escape his dark past and the lure of Jane Greer’s femme fatale. One of the most exquisite and intricate of all film noirs, shown in a lush print restored from a nitrate negative. 

Tickets: If visiting the Museum after 4:00 p.m., tickets to Friday evening screenings are $10 ($7.50 for senior citizens and students). Otherwise screening is free with Museum admission.
