Friday Afternoon Videos: NIGHT OF THE HUNTER

Here’s a chunk of the 1955 film NIGHT OF THE HUNTER. All you need to know is that Robert Mitchum is playing a psychotic minister (with “LOVE” and “HATE” tattooed across his hands) who is chasing two innocent kids because he knows their late father hid money in the girl’s doll. Directed by Charles Laughton (and this is the only movie he ever directed!) it features some of the most beautiful, most poetic black-and-white cinematography in this history of movies.
