THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER

Description:

Famed actor Charles Laughton?s only directorial effort, THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER is a dark, dreamy thriller about a predatory minister with tattooed knuckles who marries a widow for morally dubious reasons. As the titular character, Robert Mitchum is both charming and menacing, creating a realistic monster that remained one of the actor?s most indelible creations. Despite a negative critical and commercial reception upon its original release, THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER has become deservingly considered one of the greatest films ever made - a gorgeously-shot work with some of cinema?s most iconic images.
