CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Feigning his grief, Mr. Powell (Robert Mitchum) convinces Mr. and Mrs. Spoon that his wife has run off with another man. The reality, however, is much more sinister...
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 had to really be "shocking to the senses" at the time. It still has an unsettling affect some 62 years later. No high tech wizardry needed, just a good eye and lots of artistic talent.
Just as I said to myself, “Special effects ruined cinema”
You put it nicely, agree 100%.
@Anna333 that can also be true, specially depending on the subject matter and movie, i.e.; 2001 a Space Odyssey is the masterpiece it is not only because of its interesting plot, awesome cinematography and editing, music, etc, etc, etc.. , but also its state of the art, practically hand made special effects, not to mention subsequent movies such as Alien, the eight passenger, Blade Runner, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, etc, etc, etc,....
Serious question: I always wondered how these underwater shots back then in the 50's/60's were made (like in creature from the Black Lagoon). I assume film cameras back then were massive, heavy and waterproofing something like that wasn't realistic. Was there a sort of studio "aquarium" that was glass on one side and could hold enough water to set up shots like this with the camera outside of it? As for this movie in particular- is that actually Shelley Winters posing under water for these shots (I guess she would have to hold her breath dive down, self latch onto something on the car to make it look like she's tied down, and spend 90 seconds at a time down there to get the shot perfect, shots like that usually take over an hour to get everything in place) or is at stunningly realistic for 1950's special fx dummy? The water is so clear, and everything like the plants set up so perfectly I can't imagine, even if they had waterproof deluxe film cameras then, it couldn't imagine it's shot in an actual, naturally occuring body of water.
I heard a interview where Lin shaye from Detroit rock city and insidious said this was the single most frightening thing she saw as a kid.
That underwater scene is really beautiful.
Such a shame Mr. Laughton never directed another movie. "The Night of the Hunter," was his only directorial effort, turning out to be a commercial flop at the time of its release.Time, however, has done justice to this masterpiece, making it a timeless cult classic, a gift to movie lovers from a unique and extraordinarily talented artist. Thank you very much for posting.
I was just reading this. Such a shame! He took it so personally that it crushed him for it to be such a failure. Thankfully times change and people think a bit differently. It's a masterpiece.
How?? Were audiences just not use to seeing this kind of thing back then?
There are movies that are so far ahead of their time that they fall on deaf ears. Nicht of the Hunter is basically a David Lynch movie - but 30 or 40 years early.
This scene is hauntingly terrifying and beautiful all at the same time. Classic.
Laughton was a genius.
Im so sad to find out that the film was slammed by critics. Due to the failure of the film, he never directed a movie again. Poor guy I hope he knows how appreciated this film is.
hauntingly beautiful and horrifying image
Agreed. It truly is one of the most disturbing and haunting films I have seen.
That scene when see Willa in Car under the Lake, I thought was Shelly Winters holding her breath. Turns out they made plaster cast mold of her face for mannequin used. Uncannily creepy 😮😢
That has got to be one of the most spooky things I've ever seen in film.
SuperSix Delta ophelia underwater is a song named after this scene its on you tube
Why ?
As a kid, guessing around 12 years old, I happened to catch this movie on late night TV. It haunted me, especially some of the scenes like this, afterward throughout my life. I remember watching, being SO thoroughly pulled in! It was so powerful that I almost didn’t want it to end. It became one of those memories that, as a young adult, I wondered if it were actually a dream. It wasn’t like I knew the title. Then, one day as an adult, I came across it on TV again!! I felt the thrill of taking it in again! Knowing it wasn’t a dream!! A very special film to me.
"What could have possessed that girl?"
"Satan"
"NAOOWWH"
😂
My mom cracks up at that part.
The one thing about this movie that always got on my nerves is how Icey (the old woman) just believed every single thing Powell said about Willa. I know he's incredibly manipulative but you would think that since Willa worked with Icey she'd now her better.
I grew up around people like that. Throw a religious spin on it and they'll believe in anything
@@bobthabuilda1525 that’s sad
And, then, when Powell is arrested as the main and only suspect, she, the old lady, is the first one leading the hordes to hung him. Pretty scary indeed. Great movie.
Because she sucks
Seems to me Icey should asking more pointed questions about WILLA disappearance. We Never saw her doing any things Preacher accused her of especially drinking alcohol.
The way he sings that tune is literally chilling
Even for 1955, there's something very eerie about the scene of Willa's corpse underwater. Her hair flowing along with the kelp really got to me. The film's visual style is impeccable. I was surprised to learn this was the only movie Charles Laughton directed. It feels like it was made by a guy who had decades of filmmaking experience going back to the 1920's (if only because of parts of it reminded me of German expressionism).
It still look amazing even for today's standard of cinematography
It’s true. You can see James whales influence on laughten in this film. They worked together on the old dark house.
@@ConanObrien22today standards is low, most great looking films came from before the 90s even
I finally found the source for my childhood memory - - from around 1961 or so. I was watching a movie and saw a man looking down into a lake and seeing a woman sitting in a submerged car (an old Model T type). Very spooky. I never forgot it, but I never could figure out (later in life) what movie had that scene in it. I just found it by doing a Google search of "woman in car underwater movie." It's still spooky 60 years later. Yikes!!!
This is horrifying and beautiful.
One of the best movies ever!
The Underwater scene is a MASTERPIECE
that scene is SO gorgeous, I suddenly forgot this was 1955 for a few minutes. a film truly ahead of its time!
Man... This scene was so good... I wonder how they filmed that lady under water? :O This scene was great.
She just sat and held her breath for a bit for the shot. Back then they had to get a little risky for their craft.
I thought the same thing, but it was actually a wax dummy.
So has Guillermo del Toro he's been trying to figure it out for 25 years
According to Wikipedia, the underwater scene showing Willa's dead body was shot in a studio using a mannequin with a custom mask to make it look like Shelley Winters.
"Night of the Hunter"
Directed by Charles Laughton
One of the greatest, if not THE greatest existentialist films ever created in the history of films. Charles Laughton is one of the all time greatest actors in the world. I love his directing of this film. It is perfection itself. Each scene in the sequence is more enlightened than the next. Each character is perfectly cast. The settings are marvelous, and the actors give sublime performances.
Sincerely,
gospelgirl
What do you mean by "existentialist" film? Pls I'm not arguing with you...I'm just curious because although this film makes use of Christian symbolism to subvert and deconstruct religious narratives, I don't see it as existentialist(maybe it's postmodernist but definitely not existentialist to me). I'd love to hear your take on it
@@lamontkhoza2856 same, I'd love to hear what they meant by that
I wouldn’t ever call this film existential. It’s far too hopeful.
The music is so beautiful and haunting - it's a pity it isn't on the soundtrack. :(
It's a Classical piece of music by French Composer, Claude Debussy. It's ccalled a Prelude to the Afternoon Faun. It's a beautiful hypnotic piece of music. Hope this helps.
@@melomel385 Ah thank you very much for doing that - it's so beautiful!! That would also explain why it wasn't on the soundtrack.
I can't say anything, just this movie is a MASTERPIECE
Shelley Winters sat in that buggy and held her breath to get that shot. I heard her talk about it in an interview. When I first saw it I was shocked. This movie was compelling. I was fascinated with it and still am. To me, It is a masterpiece.
it's clearly a wax dummy .
@@pcaetano7527 yes it's a wax dummy. Shelley Winters always loved to exaggerate things.
According to Wikipedia, the underwater scene showing Willa's dead body was shot in a studio using a mannequin with a custom mask to make it look like Shelley Winters.
Are you blind?
The underwater scene was both beautiful and sad at the same time. The crowning horror was the old man on the boat , at an elevation and the clearness of the water which enabled him to see the whole scene with an illusive atmosphere about it.
An absolutely beautiful scene, reminiscent of Ophelia by John Everett Millais - I love how still and ethereal it is!
Kinda reminds me of the scene in "The Piano" when Ada goes down into the water hoping to die ... And then in an instant she changes her mind to come back to the surface. "My will has chosen life?" Beautifully done.
A classic scene from a classic film. Unbelievable!!!
this frame shooked me at full screen cinema when i was 21
Wow, this radically innovative scene is the dawn of real horror cinema > 2:06
The Night of the Hunter was rated No. 90 on Bravo's 100 Scariest Movie Moments. In a 2007 listing of the 100 Most Beautiful Films, Cahiers du cinéma ranked The Night of the Hunter No. 2
At the 15 second mark notice that "Spoon's " backwards is Snoops which fits Mrs. Spoon rather well ... pure genius!
2:54 old man be like: I gotta stop drinking that moonshine I be seeing things.
I learned recently that a dummy was used for the Shelly Winters under water scene ....
Bob Boldridge
Still holds up today! Beyond haunting.
Bob Boldridge no .
it was shelly..she had an oxygen tank nearby..and a us navy trained grouper was behind the camera ready to give mouth to mouth..it was training for her role in the poseidon adventure.
She needed lots of training.
@@chloe.imogen less than 20
Such a gorgeous movie! Visually stunning
Mrs. Spoon turned on him so fast....at the end being in that mob scene carrying an AXE..🤣🤣🤣😳boy they sure didn't play back in those times..
This scene terrified me as a child and haunted me into adulthood.
Poor Shelly Winters always getting drowned in something movie.
Mitchum's finest performance.
I can sense that Midsommar borrowed a bit from this hauntingly beautiful scene
Leaning .... leaning ....
The creepiest movie ever made!
it's Kenneth Copeland , a real life Elmer Gantry .
You got it spot on.
1:20...that devilish look, and with the word HATE tattoed on his fingers;
so much symbolism, you can tell an american didn't make this film.
I'm afraid you're right.
Since pretty much all of the cast were Americans that's objectively false. However the actual real life murderer Harry Powers the book and film were based on was a Dutch immigrant shopkeeper without any known religious pretensions which is the invention of anti-Christian propagandists European state religions obviously have given Europeans in far greater numbers than America's tradition of religious freedom has given us, thank God. Had Harry Powers family stayed in Europe instead of moving to America, instead of murdering two women and three children in the 1930's to steal their property he might very well have have become a Communist or Nazi collaborator helping Stalin and Hitler mass murder millions of women and children to steal their property. Europeans do generally tend to be far more cynical than Americans. There are no doubt many reasons for that however that's not necessarily a good thing we should imitate because cynicism can be just as blinding as any other myopic fanaticism. Only a diversity of views can hope to understand all the vast complexity of the reality of things we see everyday around us.
wow, how could I have missed that. that is an awesome scene. chilling
strongcloud28 watch
ophelia underwater its a italodance tune named after this scene
@@jimscribner8314 What the hell is this comment
For those inclined to be disinformative--or who simply are confused or don't know any better--it is a wax dummy of Shelley Winters in the car, not the actress holding her breath. There's no room for doubt if you look closely at the dummy's neck. Just like James Gleason said he saw her. No live actress could have that slit.
Ugh. Just like people who actually won't read the bible for themselves and fall for any tripe spewed
I've read the bible and your comment leads me to wonder if you have. There's enough murder, rape, misogony and cruelty in the bible to rival any major war and nearly all of it inspired, or at least sanctioned by, Yaweh
+Dean Unfortunately for much of the south, it only lost the slave-held/slave holding mentality SOCIALLY. Psychologically and spiritually, it's still there
Some subtle red flags that we, the audience, see but not the utterly receptive couple.
Miss Shelley Winters! Much respect.
thriller movie nowaday just blood and bone . Thiss is real thriller movie no violen scene but too scare.
The underwater shot with Robert mitchums voice singing leaning is one of my favorite sequences. Like god damn this film is absolute filthy
That was actually a dummy replica of Shelly Winters.
Spooooooky
conflicting reports about that....?
That scene always stuck with me. So uncanny and troubling.
First time i watched i was like "...". Speechless
Doesn't the music for Shelley Winters being drowned scene sound like a slow version of "The Tonight Show" theme? Not the "Leaning" song, the other one that they play behind the scene of the mother, drowned....
She wasn't drowned, her throat was cut.
You're gonna need a bigger boat
2:19 string sample
SW, who knew, at least she (it) was'nt hit by a car..this time ,she floated,she sang..oh well
I was really pissed at Old lady who encouraged Willa to marry that Soundral. How could these people be such dunder heads.
Still scares me😏😏😏
is there anywhere to find this song!?
You already found it, here, right? just sayn...
This movie illustrates a timeless truth - that people blinded by faith are so easily duped that they would follow Satan himself right through the gates of hell if he just brandished a Bible, praised the Lord and promised to end Roe vs. Wade.
Isn't evangelism wonderful ?
It takes a great actor to act like a bad one
name of song?
It's a Classical piece of music by French Composer Claude Debussy. It's called Prelude to an Afternoon Faun. It's really quite beautiful music. I hope that this helps.😊
@@melomel385 it's not the piece. Thank you for your effort anyway
"Satan ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"
increases the transgressions among men
In the dictionary, under SUBMECHANOPHOBIA, there is a picture of 2:15.
Webster's Dictionary?
Creepy
