Raquel Stecher Out of the Past a darling little movie. Pair this in a double bill with The Women (1939) and it would serve as a nice little appetizer for that main course. Mar 2, 2019 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews It should be of interest mostly to a female audience. Rated: C- Mar 15, 2004 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member This is by far one of Lucille Balls best performances. It showed a different more role of drama not known of Ball. If she had wanted to continue in Drama she surely would of done well. She was also very Beautiful. I loved the movie and would of liked to seen a sequel.
