the cigarette
in Robert Mitchum's mouth
out of the past


"Out of the Past" is the title of one of the classics of film noir.
It starred Mitchum, Kirk Douglas, and Jane Greer, and was directed by Jacques Tourneur.
The point of the ku is that the image of the tough guy hero with the cigarette in his mouth is "out of the past."
