Night of the Hunter is my favourite Robert Mitchum of all time, even more than Holiday Affair (which I love dearly). He gave such an amazing performance in that movie!
ReplyDeleteA great (& scary) film, with so many memorable scenes. I've enjoyed your Mitchum series--I don't know his work as well as I should, but I am familiar with "Night of the Hunter."
ReplyDeleteI've only seen this movie once, but Robert's performance really got me! It's a creepy, but fantastic one.
ReplyDeleteA true classic, and this is one of the great scenes! Amazing performance by Mitchum. Thanks.
