  1. Out of the Past is more than just an exemplary noir. It exceeds its genre even as it typifies it.
  2. Director W.S. Van Dyke and married co-writers Albert Hackett and Frances Goodrich leavened the novel's hard-boiled tone and grim wit. The result is less a detective story with occasional flashes of humor than a light comedy set against a backdrop of murder.
