CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Mrs. Cooper (Lillian Gish) guards the house with her gun and joins in on a song with Mr. Powell (Robert Mitchum) who watches from the yard.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Adapted by James Agee from a novel by Davis Grubb, The Night of the Hunter represented legendary actor Charles Laughton's only film directing effort. Combining stark realism with Germanic expressionism, the movie is a brilliant good-and-evil parable, with "good" represented by a couple of farm kids and a pious old lady, and "evil" literally in the hands of a posturing psychopath. Imprisoned with thief Ben Harper (Peter Graves), phony preacher Harry Powell (Robert Mitchum) learns that Ben has hidden a huge sum of money somewhere near his home. Upon his release, the murderously misogynistic Powell insinuates himself into Ben's home, eventually marrying his widow Willa (Shelley Winters). Eventually all that stands between Powell and the money are Ben's son (Billy Chapin) and daughter (Sally Jane Bruce), who take refuge in a home for abandoned children presided over by the indomitable, scripture-quoting Rachel Cooper (Lillian Gish). The war of wills between Mitchum and Gish is the heart of the film's final third, a masterful blend of horror and lyricism. Laughton's tight, disciplined direction is superb -- and all the more impressive when one realizes that he intensely disliked all child actors. The music by Walter Schumann and the cinematography of Stanley Cortez are every bit as brilliant as the contributions by Laughton and Agee. Overlooked on its first release, The Night of the Hunter is now regarded as a classic.

This was the perfect juxtaposition between someone who believed in what she preached and someone who used the very same words, books and songs to deceive and destroy other vulnerable people.
Anthony Wayne Pettus well he did genuinely believe it, he just believes in the darker nature in faith, notice when he uses his blade it’s with the hand that is tattooed with love.
During his boyhood Robert Mitchum spent a year bumming across America as a classic tramp. He encountered sone real backwoods communities where people would believe anything you says if you had a Bible in your hands. He drew off that for this role.
If Harry Powell doesn't believe in God, why does he talk to God while he is alone driving in the stolen car during the second scene of the film?
@@FilmBuffBros I'd say in the scene in the car, he's not praying to God. He's not even talking with God. Powell uses God for his own evil goals, and he treats God like a puppet on strings. So maybe Powell uses the word "God," and maybe he "talks" to God, but he doesn't believe in God.
Beware of false prophets
I can't help but laugh every time Mitchum sings this song. He sings it so good too. What an actor. He should have won an Oscar for this. My favorite Mitchum performance. What an actor.
It's an incredible performance and probably his best but it's not his scariest.That would be Max Cady in Cape Fear. Just nasty!
favorite Roger Ebert actor
i absolutely agree robert mitchum was excellent as harry powell he should have gotten an oscar
I love❤ the albums he recorded ! I can’t claim the same for Clint Eastwood’s record😅
The way he so smoothly takes advantage of the candlelight to disappear is so well done and absolutely terrifying.
my interpretation was that her singing along with him was her showing that she isn't scared of him. powell sings this song when he's about to do something cruel so you can see that his mind is perfectly tranquil even though what he's about to do is so terrible. she's telling him that she's not scared, and the director is telling you that powell has met his match in rachel cooper.
And her singing invokes Jesus for strength in this her dark hour, and drowns him out, upstages him--breaks the basilisk spell of his Luciferan serenade to her and the house's other "whores of Babylon" not-wannabes.
She sang the hymn in sincerity, overriding his mockery of it
As I see it, she hasn't any idea at this point that he represents evil: she's just responding to a song she knows and loves. It makes it clear to us how difficult a time she'll have opposing a man who appears to be a clergyman.
Valerie Meineke Oh, she knows. The scene before this she threatens to shoot him. That’s why she has the gun in the first place.
@@valeriemeineke5752
She knew he was evil the moment he met him, she Even point her Shotgun on him.
Lillian Gish was so good in this. It's amazing. She brings me to tears with her simple statements of true and strength.
"It's a hard world for little things"... Goosebumps
I love the contrast. Big burly nasty man. Frail little old nice lady. They share a brief moment where he repeats his often used song to unnerve his victims, while she does not let it phase her one bit and she serves it right back at him letting him know how the song really sounds like coming from a real pure of heart.
To be lulled to sleep.
One of the most beautiful and quietly powerful depictions of good vs evil that we'll ever see.
The symbolism in this movie is amazing.
What are some examples? :)
@@FilmBuffBros - The rabbit & owl is one.
I'm not good at catching symbolism, could someone explain it to me?
The rabbit are the kids (Prey) while the owl is the preacher (Hunter) like in reality the little ones will always fall prey to the big and powerful hunter like a cat preying on a mouse or lion preying on a monkey, deer, in the end these defenseless creatures will ultimately be hunted and killed.
I wish that Charles Laughton had directed more films. This was a wonderful movie but the critics gave it a hard time and Laughton was discouraged and never directed again. Very unfortunate.
seriously?! I thought the acting, cinematography and even the soundtrack really slapped (meaning it was very well made) for its time
This is an awesome movie!
Kim M tis true, soundtrack doth smackith
Agreed.
What a Masterpiece!
As she sings against him, she has an aura above her head. Light always wins against darkness.
only when the light stands firm and vigilant. A candle too bright blinds you from seeing the hunters in the dark. Blow out such overzealous things if you wish to take up the vigil.
it's a hard world for little things
And the Right hand of Love always beats the Left hand of Hate.
Light didn't win against dark for the kids mother...
The same aura was around Shelley Winters as she waited for the end. Masterful.
The use of light and shadows is absolutely amazing throughout the whole movie. It's a damn shame Charles Laughton never directed another film.
Sing that song in a church it might sound normal...
Sing it in the pitch dark and it's @#$%ing terrifying.
I scared a friend of mine doing this.
@@Jiddy12345 Really or are you joking?
As a French pupil, we saw this movie when I was 17, and this scene has always astonished me. I don't know why but this melody regularly comes to my mind, I find it so amazing... 3 years later, I continue listening to this beautiful melody.
At 0:21 the silhouette of Rachel Cooper in a rocker with her rifle cocked is an ironic homage to the iconic painting Whistler's Mother.
Powell's Love/Hate monologue is shown here in song form. Powell's evil preacher is gleefully singing the song as a sort of war chant, one that shows how calm he is knowing what he plans on doing. But like the monologue said, Love, despite looking like it was out, comes back and beats Hate. And so Willa matches Powell's song with her own, sung eloquently and gently, to show him that she is not scared. She shows him that his tactic is not working, and in a strange way that love will conquer hate
I like how during song Lillian says Leaning on Jesus. Powell never speaks the name of Jesus in the song or the whole movie.
I grew up with this hymn. Hearing it used in such a way has chilled me to my core.
I have watched hundreds of movies, and this is the single most suspenseful scene I can ever remember.
This scene is probably my favorite in the whole movie. It really encapsulates the corruption of faith that Powell represents even in the subtlety that in his version of the song omits Jesus from it
It’s as if yo say the evil can’t say His name
Gad! The beauty of those black & white films. "Silver screen" indeed.
When the lady starts singing alongside Powell I started thinking about Powells sermon about the right hand and the left hand.
we watched this in my study of film class. It always creeped me out. cool movie though!
University of Manitoba?
What a masterpiece!
What an unbelievable masterpiece, so much ahead of it's time!
No, that was its time. We have declined since 1955.
@@ChristianGustafson Film certainly has. I'll give you that one
Great scene in an absolutely stunning film! This movie deserves to be considered in the top ranks of cinema noir --it is as fabulous today as it was on the day it was released.
He didn't have a bad voice! Better than I could ever do, that's for sure.
He had a hit record in the 50's, "Thunder Road."
He had another one consisting primarily of calypso songs.
This song gets stuck in your head, so haunting on Mitchun's beautiful baritone voice. Masterpiece.
Talk about grace under fire ,cool under pressure ... This has been my favorite movie for nearly 30 years!
I saw this movie on TV back in the late 50's. I knew then it was a classic. Over my life I have seen the best films ever made and the worst. Both have their own uniqueness. Few people today can appreciate the genius movies like this have within them. The lighting and imagery that only a black and white film can achieve.
Best scene of the movie. Still gives me the all-over jeebies!
The audacity of having Good and Evil sing a duet. Breathtaking.
When he sings, he leans on the words to press down on his prey. When she sings, its to raise someone up, to strengthen
Nicely put
Such a great scene, it gives me the creeps every time. The movie is a masterpiece, but you should check out the book it is based on too.
Diana Petruța Zota what book is it based on?
@@writtenbasket1129 Davis Grubb's "The Night of the Hunter"
is it different from the movie?
@@Cavirex It differs in some points, but both novel and movie are pretty dark and atmospheric.
@@petrakupper7098 I've watched this movie many times over the years and was unaware of the book that this movie was based on. I'm going to read it. Thank you!
His voice is captivating.
One of the creepiest scenes in cinema ever. Pure brilliance
0:21 amazing shot
Night of the hunter is almost like a tale told around a campfire.
I think it's like what an American Brother's Grimm story would be.
A lot of people see this film as a fairytale.
In Raising Arizona the line was "He was especially hard on the little things" as Tex Cobb blows a lizard to kingdom come with his sawed off shot gun.
In The Big Lebowski the final line is "The Dude abides" which is also a Coen Brothers film.
Lilian Gish was one of the true stars of the silent era who made the transition to the talkies.
so beautifully terrifying. one of my favourite films of all time
This is a brilliant film >> a classic !
Just love the "film noir" effects of this classic film. Exceptional!
In the 1997 documentary series Dope Sheet, John Kricfalusi, creator of The Ren & Stimpy Show, considers The Night of the Hunter as his all-time favourite film; he has praised it for its direction, art direction, and acting
how fitting. a hunter of children (teen girls) his own self.
Imagine if Mitchum does attend church and sung this sometime after the movie’s release.
She almost fell, the way the others did! It was his sincerity and his tone of voice. But she only came out of it when the light (from the girl who was prone to crushes) came on and snapped her out of her trance. VERY underrated movie.
I don't see it that way, if he is singing, she knows where he is. Easier to shoot someone if you know where they are.
2:02 shiver down my spine
This movies not anti-religion, but anti religion being used in deceitful ways. The preacher can fool the people, by acting like a stariotipical holy man, but Lillian gish's character is really the holy person and can see through the preachers act. This scence shows the preacher pretending to be holy by singing a hymn, but Lillian actually puts jesus into the song, revealing it's TRUE meaning.
Yes!! She calls on Jesus.
This is, without a doubt, the most bone chilling thing I've ever seen
Charles Laughton saw just how eerily smart and handsome Mitchum could easily turn into a Mormon thug yet motion-picture critics gave this director a really hard time - why???? because he was too adept at his job and winning over American Dream audiences!.
Shikiraamzingly so
Mormon?
I don’t think he ever states what religion he is apart of. He says early on that he made his own.
Yes, however it reeks of southern Baptist.
A duet of good vs. evil.
This cinematic image is called German expressionism , it’s dark and light contrasted …
1: King Kong
2: Night of the Hunter
3: Citizen Kane
4: Godzilla (1954)
What a stunning underrated black & white masterpiece of film!
All throughout this movie, we see such malevolence lurking in the shadows.
Truly frightening with such scenes of terror!
This movie isn’t underrated it’s widely considered to be one of the 100 best films ever.
@@randywhite3947 When it was first-released,it was not deemed a commercial or artistic success.
It was the only film made by its director, Charles Laughton.
It was only many years later that it was given its proper due and recognition.
This is way better then most all Christian films. It shows the difference between someone who uses religion and charismatic personality to deceives people and someone who uses true Biblical love and care to help people.
There ain’t much Biblical love in the Bible, Exodus 21:20 a prime example, and 1 Peter 2:16.
This movie is almost 70 years old and this scene is scarier than most horror movies made now.
Pointedly, Lillian Gish’s character invokes the name of Jesus in the song while Mitchum’s character does not, as if he were some sort of demon who cannot mouth the name of Jesus.
This is an extremely powerful scene, with lighting that is breathtaking.
My favorite song in church in a dark film.
One of my favorite films of all time!
Me too. It's in my top 25! :)
1:27 Hitchcock Probably pay a homage to this scene in Rear Window. The scene where they almost get caught by the serial killer because the girlfriend turned on the lights from across the room
Rear Window was made a year before this one.
@@arthurlapeixoto hmm so it's the other way around then
@@ConanObrien22 Quite possible.
Still get goosebumps hearing him sing. Powell is a scary villain.
There was only one Actor to play this role of the Preacher and that Man was Robert Mitchum.
The owl watching and swooping on the rabbit is symbolic of a predator
I remember I saw this as a kid, and this scene has stuck with me for all these years.
very deep. Happy bday robert.
This film is soo good.
This is the soundtrack of the scariest film I ever saw as a teenager. Brrr...it was enough start humming it for my friends and I to shudder..!
Such a great move
My grandmother has that same neck. And and just as fierce.
Robert Mitchum starring as pure evil. A true villain.
This song is dangerously catchy.
2:00 there's a chord attached to the OWL.
Reverend Harry Powell is one of the scariest (and realistic) psychopaths ever shown on screen. Michael Myers, Freddy Krueger, Joker, Chigurh, even Hannibal Lecter... they aren't a patch on characters like Harry Powell. Evil just for the sake of being evil.
Max Cady (both versions) are evil
Charles Laughlin directed and used theater stages for some of the river shots.
What a fellowship, what a joy divine,
Leaning on the everlasting arms;
What a blessedness, what a peace is mine,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.
Leaning, leaning,
Safe and secure from all alarms;
Leaning, leaning,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.
Oh, how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way,
Leaning on the everlasting arms;
Oh, how bright the path grows from day to day,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.
Leaning, leaning,
Safe and secure from all alarms;
Leaning, leaning,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.
What have I to dread, what have I to fear,
Leaning on the everlasting arms;
I have blessed peace with my Lord so near,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.
Leaning, leaning,
Safe and secure from all alarms;
Leaning, leaning,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.
Awesome movie, awesome scene.....
Also in True Grit.
I've always wondered if the Coens intended for people to think of Night of the Hunter when they used it in True Grit.
Maaan....some people think they need to do remakes?! The Coen Brothers's True Grit is a Wonder-Full exception
Does anyone remember this song from church?
Had to watch Noght of the Hunter for a film class
What type of disappearing effect was at 1:29? Somebody please answer!
Dunno about the how the light effect was done but you can see him ducking from where he was sat
@@samguest78 is there a name that describes when the actors do that?
@@robinhoodfoxmatt1197 dunno 😂
@@robinhoodfoxmatt1197 dude shut up 🤣
@@samguest78 what do you mean by ducking from where he was sat? Please answer my question
Robert De Niro used this movie as inspiration for his version of Max Cady in Cape Fear.
And modern moviemakers say there were no strong female characters...
They don't understand what strong means
First time I watched the movie last night. Such a masterpiece. So deep, so true, it’s very scary because the movie is very true and it blows the whistle on some “cracks” inside the Church.
The little boy has been asked to keep a secret by his father. A terrible and heavy one, to protect his sister and himself. This secret traps those poor kids and sadly they are left alone. Parents failed their kids. Uncle knew and closed his eyes and turns to alcohol. Neighbors are to devoted and naive to realize what’s happening. That false pastor, using the name of God to justify all his sins (misogynistic but still watching a woman dancing half naked, a thief but to build a church…) The only solution for these kids is to runaway, run away from church and those who claims representing God. But lucky for them they met a true kind heard, a true believer acting in the name of God and love. That’s what’s saving the kids. We are not really talking about stilling money and keeping secrets right. It’s clearly a parable like in the Bible!
Such a beautiful story and very actual in 2023.
Absolutely true 💯👍
I see what Scorcese did with Cape Fear remake
I my childhood I was raise in church. My grandfather "Charles Evert Brown" always took his grandchildren to church if they happen to be there at the time. I was going on 7yrs old when this move was on.. tv... and I thought to my self what wickedness of this world that Christian Hymns were played in Movies of this sort. And than something I thought and prayed Lord let me whistle this hymn and so I started learning this hymn and got to my whistle good... and since that time, but when I turned 12, 1958 I gave my heart to the Lord and I have been blessed all the days of my life... Praise and Honor goes to the Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus.... Glory to the King of Kings... Amen.... Because of a movie I started serving God... Awesome... what Satan meant for bad, God used it for good.... Amen... Now it is almost going home time... Trump of God is about to sound, glory to God,,,, Ready for the Rapture !!!
Harold Cale ok
Oh
Amen to that
This movie is about not listening to false tongues even when they use the guise of true faith as a cloak. It is about not allowing overzealous candles to blind oneself from the hunters in the dark. Stand firm. Keep humility and vigilance, for evil is only able to thrive where no one is willing to see it.
Keep the faith steady and firm, gentle and comforting, and let not false demagogues hunt within thy flock.
it's a hard world for little things
may you hear the trumpet and ascend to thy rest
by the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit
Amen
Im like 90% sure that owl was tied to a tree
Can't believe Scorsese was able to direct this movie at the age of 12!!!!! What a genius
Is this supposed to be a joke? Charles Laughton directed this and Scorsese wouldn't direct for another 12 years.
“What do you say to a man that by his own admission has no soul? Why would you say anything? I’ve thought about it a good deal. But that wasn't nothin' compared to what was comin' down the pike. They say the eyes are the windows to the soul. I don't know what them eyes was the windows to and I guess I'd as just as soon as rather not know. But... there is... another... view of the world out there and there are... other... eyes... to see it and that's where my story is goin'. It has done brought me to a place in my life I would not of ever thought possible to come to. Somewhere... out there... is a true and living prophet of destruction and I don't ever want to confront him again. I know he's real... I have seen his work... I walked in front of those eyes... just once... and I wont ever do it again. I wont ever again push my chips forward and stand up and go out there to meet him. It ain't just cuz I’m getting older. I really wish it was. I can’t say that it's even what you are willin' to do in such a situation because I always knew that you had to be willin' to die to even do this job. That was always true. Not to sound glorious about it or nothin' but you do. If you ain't... they'll know it and they'll see it in a heartbeat. I think it is more like what you are willin' to... become... and I think a man would have to put his soul at hazard. And I wont do that... not again... not ever again... and I think that now... certainly I never would.”
- Cormac McCarthy, No Country For Old Men
Good but A bit scary
Awesome
Leeeeeaning leeeeeeaning
Loudest. Owl. Ever.
My way of see it is that she begins to sing because she starts to feel scare of him, so she prays to the lord to give her the strength to defeat Powell.
I think the duet is supposed to show a) how genuine and false believers are difficult to differentiate and b) Jesus is there for all even the wicked.
1:27
2:06
The preacher represents power, lust, greed and violence. He sings out of lies, manipulation and subversion of true religion. He distorts the Old Testament for his own degenerate purposes. Lillian Gish takes up the song and adds New Testament salvation through Jesus Christ. She represents true and saving religion. She sings of charity, not the manipulation of the preacher's empty slogans of Love and Hate.
That's Barry Soterro and the Supreme Court singing and that's the remnants of Christianity in the chair
+IExposeMormonism That's Ted Cruz outside hunting the children.
Mountain Meadow and Mary Smith cannot see how they reflect Harry Powell, how they glory in the cruelty of the hunting owl.
This is my top 50 best movies ever.
Then I got it!! Powell really don't lean on nobody but himself, he talks about the Lord and whatnot, even invoking him in private, but he's a predator he ain't trusting nobody, so he can't really lean on anyone.
this song reminds me of something, well not the song, his voice.... but i cant put my finger on it, its really annoying me, WHAT IS IT!? its the first 4 lines the TONE in his voice
Don't say Bing Crosby
ha no not bing, im really not sure... something from my youth, a weird feeling
A few of us remember creepy characters from our childhoods and the frustration of our parents/caregivers not respecting our apprehension. Is it that maybe?
haha i dont know maybe it was something my dad used to listen to? sounds a bit like Jonny Cash
It's Ted Cruz!
Listen carefully. He never pronounces the name of Jesus. He is the Evil.
