ROBERT MITCHUM REDEFINES EVIL IN THIS SOUTHERN GOTHIC FANTASIA

In addition to being known as one of the finest actors of his generation, Charles Laughton also delivered one of American cinema's most indelible directorial one-offs with his and James Agee's adaptation of Davis Grubb's The Night of the Hunter.

Laughton's picture stars Robert Mitchum as Rev. Harry Powell, a widow-making flimflam man who hides his serial killing ways behind his priest garments – that's before getting to his "love" and "hate" knuckle tattoos. On the hunt for a missing batch of stolen cash, Powell sets his sights on Willa Harper (Shelley Winters) as his next target, while her two children John and Pearl fight to protect a secret.

A hallmark of visual expressionism and storytelling that has influenced Robert Altman, Joel & Ethan Coen, Spike Lee, and countless others, THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER will keep you leaning into its everlasting arms.
