I don't know a huge hell of a lot about Mitchum's movies, but I've seen Out of the Past a half dozen times. It's noir at its most perfect, embodied in smart snappy dialogue throughout. It contains a line I always quote- Mitchum discussing the femme fatale with the good girl:
good girl: she can't be all bad, no one is.
Mitchum: she comes closest.
For fans of the movie, here is a link to a repository of more of the noirest of the noir, one of my two favorite noirs, the other being Double Indemnity.
