125 - The Night of the Hunter

This week we’re showing off our knuckle tatts, singing some hymns, and putting up with child actors, all while discussing the 1955 thriller classic ‘Night of the Hunter’ at the request of a patron. The Night of the Hunter is a 1955 American thriller film directed by Charles Laughton, and starring Robert Mitchum, Shelley Winters, and Lillian Gish. The screenplay by James Agee was based on the 1953 novel of the same title by Davis Grubb. The plot focuses on a corrupt minister-turned-serial killer who attempts to charm an unsuspecting widow and steal $10,000 hidden by her executed husband.
