The Night of the Hunter was legendary actor Charles Laughton’s only film directing effort. Combining stark American Gothic realism with Germanic expressionism, the movie is a brilliant good-and-evil parable, with “good” represented by a couple of unforgettable farm kids and a pious old lady (silent movie star Lillian Gish), and “evil” in the hands of a posturing psychopath (the mesmerizing Robert Mitchum).
