AKA Out Of The Past."All women are wonders, because they reduce all men to the obvious."
Small town California, and the garage owner Jeff Bailey (Robert Mitchem) bumps into an old aquaintance, who orders him to meet with the powerful gangster Whit Sterling (Kirk Douglas). En route he then spills all about his old life to his new girlfriend (Virginia Huston) and in flashback we learn about how Jeff had crossed Whit by taking off with Whit's girlfriend Kathie (Jane Greer). When he arrives Jeff is surprised to find Kathie by Whit's side, and Whit offers him a way to clear his debt, but it's obviously a trap.
A wonderful film noir, with a plot that draws you in and actors up to the task of keeping your attention.
