The Night of the Hunter (Charles Laughton, 1955)

In this off-putting thriller, two children are pursued by a psychotic “preacher” seeking to locate their dead father’s hidden fortune. Robert Mitchum’s role as the hunter opened the actor’s career to new possibilities, and is commonly cited as one of the most terrifying screen portrayals of all time. The battle of wills between Lillian Gish, as the children’s protector, and the preacher is also deservedly famous. While not well-received upon its debut, actor Charles Laughton’s only directorial effort has since gained stature as one of the most visually stunning Hollywood films ever made. Stanley Cortez’s cinematography is notable for its painterly, expressive qualities, and the underwater sequence is particularly admired. (94 min.)
