First posting on filmnation-rollomart49

Much is made of the screen meetings of Humphrey Bogart with Lauren Bacall and Ingrid Bergman, but for me the outstanding meeting is between Robert Mitchum and Jane Greer in Build My Gallows High (aka Out of the Past), directed by Jacques Tourneur.
The opening scene between them is memorable, and the subesquent ones have a magnetic quality.

The other such scenes that come to mind are those between Fred McMurray and Barbara Stanwyck in Double Indemnity.
