Menace comes in the form of a murderous false prophet in Charles Laughton's classic thriller THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER.
(1955)
Robert Mitchum stars in one of the most malevolent roles of his career as a psychopathic evangelist in the Depression ridden mid-west. Shelly Winters is the gullible widow makes the mistake of taking on Mitchum as her second husband to homicidal results. Lillian Gish rounds out a distinguished cast, which includes James Gleason, Peter Graves and Broadway veteran Evelyn Varden as the local harridan. Laughton's sensitive direction and the beautiful cinematography enhance this action packed, cross-country, suspense tale of two children running for their lives from a genuine "Boogie-Man".

Thanks to Wayne Wilson aka Toyuki1 for this wonderful animation! / toyuki
That scene of Shelley in the car at the bottom of the river with her hair and seaweed flowing with the current has to be one of the most haunting scenes ever put on film.
Poor Shelly. Bad luck in boats. LOL! Steve
💯
@@stevenhayes4063 And bad luck with cars - The Great Gatsby.
@@ThePiratemachineBad luck with bodies of water, too (A Place in the Sun, The Poseidon Adventure).
It’s so haunting and horribly beautiful
Lillian Gish pulling a gun on Mitchum is one of the most memorable scenes in the movie!
Yup. I'll bet she sished she's had that gun for Bette Davis on "Whales Of August"! LOL!
She is a BADASS!! 💪
Laughton used the camera and black and white like the silent masters - every scene is visual feast ... it is a BEAUTIFUL movie to watch ... Add Mitchum's portrayal of a man on the edge ... it's a terrific film.
Thanks SO much for watching! Would you do me a favor and push the "LIKE" button? Thanks!
This movie disturbed me for a long, long time. It was so suspenseful I didn't have any fingernails left after watching it! Thank-you Steve, for bringing this masterpiece to people's attention.
Thanks SO much for watching! Would you do me a favor and push the "LIKE" button? Thanks!
I watched this movie as a kid with my mom. Still one of my favorites. Lillian Gish sitting in that chair with the gun waiting for the Preacher to come is such an iconic scene for me.
And singing the old hymn together!!!
Loved this movie and this review. Roger Ebert considered this one of the Great American Movies, right up there with Citizen Kane and Gone With The Wind. He even praised Robert Mitchum's performance as one of the best by an actor in all Hollywood history (with Vivien Leigh's Scarlett O'Hara as the best actress performance in history. I sure miss Roger Ebert!
Mitchum should have won for this. It's amazingly malevolent. A prelude to an even creepier version of his dark side a few years later in "Cape Fear".
I watched it when I was little (1960's) and I was so terrified by Robert Mitchum. The image of him chasing the children up the cellar stairs, those murderous, grasping arms; the memory of that is still etched in my mind. This picture is a masterpiece.
Totally.
This film is one of the most terrifying and eerie I've ever seen. I saw it at the National Film Theatre in London back in the 1960s and I could feel my skin crawling. I totally agree with Charles Laughton's opinion of Robert Mitchum. He was indeed very intelligent and all too often cast as a mindless heavy. He is so sinister in this and the whole film has a nightmarish quality which I don't think I've seen anywhere else. Thank you Steve for reminding us of it.
Laughon was a genious and both men were brilliant actors.
Steve, I wish you'd review The Bad Seed! Everybody got to chew the scenery in that one! Wonderful performances.
Yes, I know. it's on my list!
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ And taken from a play, which ended differently than the movie. Movies usually need a "happy" ending.
I just recently discovered this movie and I have a new favorite. It has a surreal, dreamlike (or nightmarish) quality, very unique and powerful.
It's brilliant.
"CHIL-dren!" This movie was a trip. I love Lillian Gish in anything so that's why I decided to watch this. Holy mother, Mitchum was scary in this. However, I was shocked at the end when he was howling like a little girl. I did NOT see that coming. LOL!
When Mitchum was caught with pot way back when, it should have been the end of his career. When he was being booked and asked his profession he said 'Ex-Movie Star'. And THAT was in all the morning papers and all America laughed and shrugged it off. We love our 'bad boys'.
@@poetcomic1 We do indeed amd thank GOD!
It's an amazing performance!
The film is a masterpiece, and one of the most beautiful completely terrifying films I've seen. Thanks Steve for reminding us for
Laughton was a master film maker. Too bad he got so discouraged and never directed another.
Brilliantly stylized to the nth degree. Performances and visuals to take your breath away, and Walter Schuman's exquisite score. It's always playing in the back of my mind.
It's beautiful to look at and listen to.
Holy smokes! This is one heck of a movie… Both my daughters (when they were younger) watched this on TCM one weekend, and it scared the socks off of them. They’re both adults now, and they still say they get the creeps when they see Robert Mitchum, with his love on one hand, and hate on the other …great review!
It certainly stays with you. One of the most imaginative films of the period and brilliantly cast and directed.
One of the most underrated points of this movie -- in fact, hardly noticed by any critic; I've only ever seen it alluded to once -- is the fact that the Lillian Gish character, Rachel Cooper, is alert to the danger of Harry Powell because she believes in the reality of evil in the biblical sense and consequently recognizes it and arms herself against it -- literally -- when Powell shows up.
Definitely. She's read her Bible.
How anyone could’ve ever slept on this movie is beyond me. This movie is a masterpiece.🍿
It is a classic example of atmosphere over shock value.
One of my favorite films. Billy Chapin gives a great performance as John. Also, Evelyn Varden is a real hoot!
That old harridan! I knew so many like her. So sure one minute, then saying the exact opposite the next.
A gorgeous, lush film with a haunting conscience. Nerves twinge at a sigh. There’s nothing like it.
A real/reel work of art! Steve
One of my archetypal memories from childhood TV was that scene of Shelley Winters hair flowing under water. Yikes!
So creepy. Poor Shelly. Sooner or later s lands in the lake.
Also the scene when the children escape their stepdad’s clutches and float away down the river is lyrical, haunting, rapturous. Brothers Grimm shot by Orson Welles.
That's a wonderful observation! I agree the cinematography is dreamlike and mesmerizing. How I wish Laughton had continued directing!!!
Love love love this series of reviews and love this movie! One of my all time favorites!
It's really, really good.
I knew an actor who worked with Mitchum in War and Remembrance--the tv mini series about world war II. He also said that Mitchum was quite a character. He said Mitchum used to tell my friend, a fellow actor, "watch this" before a press conference,and he would give them a new and fun story every time a conference was held. He told them something new every time, just for his own amusement!
Can you blame him? After all those years and all those press conferences.
Chillllllllldren (one of my favorite film noirs) Love the expressionist sets, and Walter Schumann's haunting score. Never get tired of watching this movie. The imagery of Shelley Winters dead in the jalopy is fab.
Haunting. The mind reels at what Laughton could have done with so many other films, but he was so disillusioned by the experience, he never directed again. Sucha pity! Thanks for watching! Steve
I really gotta see this one. You continue to educate my ass off, Steve. So many of these movies are just ahead of my time (e.g., I was two when this was made).
And I just realized that Wayne's animations are such a treat not just because they're excellent, but because they evoke the day when a movie was always accompanied by a cartoon. (And how much better to have it at the end, with movies like this!)
Johnny continues to be adorable and perfect.
Thanks SO much for watching! Would you do me a favor and push the "LIKE" button? Thanks!
superb film. The sets are amazing, I love this film.
Night of the Hunter is definitely a visual feast--though Charles Laughton would have been the first to credit his collaboration with cinematographer, Stanley Cortez for the extraordinary visual look of this classic movie.
Great choice, Steve--could you please consider reviewing a silent soon? Thanks.
Thanks SO much for watching! Would you do me a favor and push the "LIKE" button? Thanks!
"Leaning On Jesus" with a shotgun in her hands. Wow. Just wow.
Menacing beyopnd belief.
watched this again....recently. great great movie!!
This is one of my favorite movies. It's so amazing.
Chilling!
Congrats on 50, Steve and Johnny! Robert Mitchum has always been one of my favorites and this is a great performance from him. He manages to pull off creepy and sexy at the same time. Great movie.
I love him.One of my favorites as well. Laconic sexiness.
I saw that when I was a kid. Scared the pants off me.
Five stars.
@Veryslowwriter
Yeah, he was a character. I'm not sure I woulda' liked him as a person, but I loved everything he ever did on screen.
Wonderful movie. Always loved it. Shelley gets offed less than halfway through the movie. Shocking.
Isn't it amazing! Such a hauntinfg film. Shelly and Gloria Grhame were the two most murdered heroines in the '50's. I love 'em both! Steve
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ Gotta tell you I love your reviews. When you going to do Wait Until Dark with Audrey Hepburn??? Just a suggestion.
@@healingbuddy A great suggestion! I'll put it on my "To Do" list. Thanks for watching! Best; Steve
@djsrob
I wish I could! It's not available on DVD anymore! What a crime!!!
Because of your review, I got this movie and I can't wait to watch it this weekend.
Yay! Happy 5-0! as mdshayne said! I love your posts! Thanks for taking the time to put them together! :o)
wow - just queued this up. Getting your imprimatur is one of the ways I get my 12 year old to watch classics--(do Dodsworth!) We love you Steve!
You've sold me on that one! I've always passed on it -- Only knew that Lillian Gish was in it. Will definitely take a look!
Don't miss it!
Thoroughly agree Steve - it's a terrific movie!
Thanks SO much for watching! Would you do me a favor and push the "LIKE" button? Thanks!
I love these so much. So exciting when I see a new one in my sub box!
Hooary! Thanks, Rob!
fab film!
Well, who doesn't love Lillian Gish?
Bette Davis.
Did you (Steve) ever do Undercurrent? It's not nearly in the same class as Night of the Hunter, but it's another interesting Robert Mitchum performance.
It's on my list. I like "Undercurrent".
yay!!!
@steve12168
Sorry, although, Richard Chamberlain is a wonderful actor in some things. They couldn't possibly duplicate the artistic vision and beauty of the first one.
It wasn't, it was in color, which helped to turn it into a slightly better than average made for television movie, but it was fun to watch Chamberlain play against type.
I didn't say he was better than Mitchum!
It was remade as an made for television movie with Richard Chamberlin.
Happy 50th Video!!!!!
Carmen music; Rapunzel tower: what is the director trying to say here? (:-))
Hi Guys, would you guys mind if I shared your videos on our new GLBT Blog? Love them, fyi!
