The Night of the Hunter (1955)

£0.00


Country: US
Technical: bw 93m
Director: Charles Laughton
Cast: Robert Mitchum, Shelley Winters, Lillian Gish

Synopsis:

During the depression a psychopathic preacher learns of hidden loot in a prison cell and marries the widow in the hope of getting his hands on it.

Review:

A not quite coherent whole but a film unlike any other in its peculiar tone, a mixture of naïve poeticizing about creation and a chilling depiction of religious intolerance transmuted into homicide. The central performance, music and direction combine to produce a memorable picture.
