Description: Asking for an Evanston, Illinois paper at an L.A. Out-of-Town newstand, Aldo Ray flinches when the lights go on. James Gregory, carefully watching him from across the street, crosses over and after bumming a light, catches a bus. When model Anne Bancroft takes the seat next to him at a bar, she promptly asks for a loan of five dollars, then Brian Keith and Rudy Bond accost him and they drive off. And as murder by oil derrick looms, the flashbacks begin. Tourneur’s decade-later Noir follow-up to his classic Out of the Past was adapted from a novel by David Goodis. (Film Forum)
