87: The Barbara Stanwyck of Five-Year-Olds
Manage episode 385467162 series 2620481
This is a disturbing film: also a good one. Charles Laughton’s only directorial outing focuses on a con man (and worse) terrorizing a pair of children as they run from him. He’s attempting to secure some money he covets, and to shut up those meddling kids. Robert Mitchum is our charismatic villain and star, along with Shelley Winters and silent luminary Lillian Gish, also turning in worthy performances. Buckle up, friends. You’ve been warned. Ish.
The Night of the Hunter
Shelly Brisbin with David J. Loehr, Randy Dotinga and Dr. Drang
