Eddie's framing of the picture is pure delight. I am shocked how young Douglas, Mitchum and Greer were at that time. Well, it was '47 after all, 9 years before I was born. Thank you!
The best American film noir, Out of the Past, was directed by a Frenchman. Arguably the best French film noir, Rififi, was directed by an American, Jules Dassin.
C. Bakaleinikoff was the Music Director. Not sure that's a definitive answer to who actually wrote the score. Hmm. On IMDB it says the music was by Roy Webb.
