Past Midnight is a 1991 Neo-noir thriller film starring Paul Giamatti, Tom Wright and Clancy Brown alongside leads Rutger Hauer and Natasha Richardson. Parolee Ben Jordan has spent the past fifteen years behind bars for his pregnant wife's murder. He is monitored by his parole officer Lee Samuels and social worker Laura Mathews after he is released. Mathews begins looking into his case and becomes convinced that he was convicted under circumstantial evidence and starts becoming convinced of his innocence in the crime. Before long she starts falling for him, but this is far from wise, since... even if he is innocent, Mrs Jordan's real murderer may soon come a calling. After Quentin Tarantino significantly re-wrote the script, Catalaine Knell shared her associate producer credit with him on the film . The film features a number of Tarantino's trademark pop cultural references. For example, in reference to a Peeping Tom-like recording of a murder, Tom Wright's character says "It makes Nightmare on Elm Street look like Charlotte's Web.
