Goldenes Gift
"Out of the Past" was produced by RKO Pictures, and the key personnel — director Jacques Tourneur, cinematographer Nicholas Musuraca, actors Mitchum and Greer, along with Albert S. D'Agostino's design group — were long-time RKO collaborators. Although the studio had focused on making B-films during the early 1940s, the post-World War II "Out of the Past" was given a comparatively lavish budget.
