Roxy Confidential
Out of the Past
In March 2022, the Roxy presented Roxy Confidential, a series of five classic noirs. This June, we're proud to bring Roxy Confidential back to our screens, with a whole new slate of classic films.
Everything you want in a film noir you'll find in Out of the Past. A tenacious detective (Robert Mitchum) spinning his wheels to make good. A drop-dead beauty (Jane Greer) up to no good. A moneyed mobster (Kirk Douglas) with a shark's grin. Double-crosses and fall guys. Shadowy rooms and bleak souls. Mitchem solidified his tough-guy persona in this archetypal film noir directed with memorable style by Jacques Tourneur ("Cat People," "I Walked with a Zombie"). He plays Jeff Bailey, a one-time private investigator walking the straight and narrow of small-town life until an acquaintance from his past pulls him back into the troubles he'd left behind. "Build my gallows high, baby ," Bailey sneers, as events stack up against him . . .
