Best role for Mitchum!

This 1955 movie was the best vehicle for Robert Mitchum! I can't imagine anyone else in the roll of a twisted, psychotic preacher. The movie had me on pins and needles while I was watching it. It is very difficult to watch a man void of feelings and willing to kill two small innocent children for their father's money. Lillian Gish makes a wonderful appearance in this depression-era story. Her kind heart in taking in many children who have been abandoned. Watch Mitchell go from a smooth, slick, sweet talking preacher to satan himself. Best role he ever played!

The one and only Charles Laughton directorial movie. Bombed when released because it was "too dark" for the generation of the post WWII era. But it is a marvelous character study effort and I rate it 10 stars. Lillian kicks butt :O) It is among the best movies I have ever seen in my 60 years. Happy it was FINALLY released.

Great dark classic with Mitchum playing one of his best roles. Filmed in black and white, this melodrama follows a drifter trying to steal money from an innocent beauty, played ny Shelly Winters. The tatooes on Mitchum's hands should be immortalized, much like a memorable quote.
Fans of Mitchum shouldn't miss this one. Talk about a creepy double feature, see this one right after Cape Fear.

The Night of the Hunter
) Known to be Charles Laughton's only directorial work, "Night of the Hunter" is beautifully shot in an expressionistic manner. It stars the great Robert Mitchum and Shelley Winters. Also notable is Lillian Gish's performance. A true classic. Highly recommend!!!
