CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Mr. Powell (Robert Mitchum) drives into a new town and speaks aloud to the Lord about his string of past murders.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Adapted by James Agee from a novel by Davis Grubb, The Night of the Hunter represented legendary actor Charles Laughton's only film directing effort. Combining stark realism with Germanic expressionism, the movie is a brilliant good-and-evil parable, with "good" represented by a couple of farm kids and a pious old lady, and "evil" literally in the hands of a posturing psychopath. Imprisoned with thief Ben Harper (Peter Graves), phony preacher Harry Powell (Robert Mitchum) learns that Ben has hidden a huge sum of money somewhere near his home. Upon his release, the murderously misogynistic Powell insinuates himself into Ben's home, eventually marrying his widow Willa (Shelley Winters). Eventually all that stands between Powell and the money are Ben's son (Billy Chapin) and daughter (Sally Jane Bruce), who take refuge in a home for abandoned children presided over by the indomitable, scripture-quoting Rachel Cooper (Lillian Gish). The war of wills between Mitchum and Gish is the heart of the film's final third, a masterful blend of horror and lyricism. Laughton's tight, disciplined direction is superb -- and all the more impressive when one realizes that he intensely disliked all child actors. The music by Walter Schumann and the cinematography of Stanley Cortez are every bit as brilliant as the contributions by Laughton and Agee. Overlooked on its first release, The Night of the Hunter is now regarded as a classic.

Part of why Mitchum was drawn to this role was because he spent a period in his youth bumming across America, staying in hobo camps, and during his travels he encountered numerous hustlers and also a few real backwoods communities were, in his words, "People would believe anything a man said as long as he had a bible in his hands."
this is a great quote
Some things never change.
This is one of the greatest horror films ever made is so sad took decades for people to start to appreciate it
Charles Laughton also never directed another film. Not to imagine what else he could have accomplished as a director...
@@solomonrichards599 I know. Sad.
Saw this when I was 12 years old, and it scared the bejeezus out of me. The best horror move I have ever seen or ever will see. The most underrated film in American cinema history. And Harry Powell stands alone as the most evil movie villain ever.
He's up there with Dr. Evil. 😁
@Randy White It was a complete box office disaster. Critics and audiences at the time savaged it. It was forgotten for more than a decade, until several critics wrote about it as being an underrated classic. Then other people echoed those sentiments, and the film was rediscovered as a great classic.
@Randy White I had never heard of it until about a year ago and I'm 30 years old. I saw someone mention it in a youtube comment and then looked it up. I've seen a good amount of old movies over the years but this one never came up. Not saying I'm arbiter of what movies are considered underrated but the fact that I had never heard someone even mention it before or since that comment makes me think it is pretty underrated.
I plan on seeing it for the first time this Saturday at our local historic theater. Can't wait.
One line in the movie: "Don't he never sleep" gave 12-year-old me nightmares. Enjoy this classic film and let us know what you thinnk. @@TheGreatOutdoors
I love the symbolism of the pocket knife suddenly springing out. Excellent way of highlighting the pathological repression driving the character. I need to get this on DVD I think.
So do I, and it's symbolism in films that I love to look for :) The right hand is love, stuff like that
@@abisnow1843 "Would you like me to tell you the little story of right hand, left hand?"
@@jackiewilburn3063 Wow! What a powerful story! Particularly, how Mitchum tells it....
Have you read the original novel? If not, I highly recommend it.
"There are too many of them... I can't kill a world!" That is an awesome line. Plus his look of disinterest+disgust reminds me entirely too much of the King of the Hill where Hank throws Bobby's 'Southern Gentleman' clothes off a hotel balcony.
The most creepiest thing is my grandpa's name is Harry Powell and he is a reverend lol
+Soprano14Ever
Nicer than this one, I hope.
Lol he is a very nice guy lol
@@4uclarinetlessonsIt is ironically cool🤓
"You don't mind the killings Lord, your book is full of them"
“Perfume-smellin’ things … Lacey things … Things with curly hair!”
Lol what a psycho
Nope that's Norman bates
I just saw this today in Film Studies and I’ve got to say, of all the bad guys in movies that I’ve seen few have made me as uncomfortable as Harry Powell.
apparently, of all the classic psychopaths portrayed in movies, Powell is one of the few that is realistic.
@@cybernautadventurer anton chigurh ??
Most terrifying sort of killer - one entirely at home within himself; content and centered and entirely sure he knows himself exactly as much as he'll ever need to. The only thing other humans can do for him is distract, annoy, disgust or - worst of all, according to Powel - meddle. We get to see truly how animal he is underneath it all, especially when confronted by those who are willing to defy his cloying, patronly facade. At his core, there's no elegance or wisdom when his back's to the wall; just blunt and vicious impulse devoid of language or tactic. Truly a terrifying antagonist, especially for the young heroes of this movie.
love how he's holding the steering wheel like a cartoon character
The thing this sequence really shows is that underneath how terrifying Harry Powell is he's little more than a pathetic, possibly impotent man who turns his insecurities into misogyny.
Mitchum made a good psycho, as in Cape Fear also.
Such a good film! First saw it when I was far too young. Ahead of its time. I'm sure I didn't see the blatant sexual symbolism in this clip back then...
This and his role in Cape Fear are among his best work
Wow !...What a great movie ...keeps you hanging on as best as they can for a movie.....a must watch !....Good ole Bob....
Charles Laughton was a genius.
The awful thing about this preacher is he actually believes what he does is righteous and with God.
@WeLoveCinema WeLoveCinema notice when he kills people it's with the band of love. The man is demented and believes he is on a holy mission.
Somewhat like the. Corrupted christians we see present day
Nah, he just convinces himself he’s doing the “Lord’s work”. If you’ve seen the whole film, you know his real motivation is greed.
@@terrorsaur599 I'm not saying it isn't, but what he'll do with that money is to spread his flawed ideology.
@@mrfivegold
Let me rephrase myself. Harry Powell uses his ideology as an excuse, to convince himself what he is doing is “Lord’s work”. Deep down, he knows there is no rhyme or reason to what he’s doing and doesn’t care. He just enjoys it.
In my opinion, there are two kinds of ideological fanatics: ignorant fools who don’t know any better and power-hungry psychopaths who use it to unleash their inner evil. Harry Powell is an example of the latter.
Charles Laughton saw just how eerily smart and handsome Mitchum could easily turn into a Mormon thug yet motion-picture critics gave this director a really hard time - why???? because he was too adept at his job and winning over American Dream audiences!.
Mitchum was such an underrated actor
Harry was nuts.
Truly a classic!
This is an amazing movie.

I love this movie so much!
Anyone else look up this movie after hearing the song in “Promising Young Female?” Glad I did.
Nope I'm not that switched on to think to do that but I did thing promising young woman was very mediocre.
I do wish they paid more attention to the details of driving in old movies. They didn't have a clue. His sporadic corrected steering wheel movements are very distracting. Never the less I loved the movie.
Wanna see one worse than that? Watch Thunder Road. Half the time hes looking out of his back window while hes driving mountain roads at 100 mph. Nonetheless, it's my all time favorite movie
Oh stop it.
That's how old cars drive they have loads of play in the steering wheel before it bites and with no decent roads and terrible suspension it's actually not so overegged . remember this was decades before power steering.
Why does Powell get so angry at the dancer?
Hes repressing his own "evil" sexual temptation and desire. That's what the switchblade popping open in his pocket symbolizes. I hope this makes sense. Lol. Sometimes I have a tendency to over complicate things
@@jackiewilburn3063
Why the Blade pokes out of the pocket?
@@raulbetancourt5795 He's trying to hide it, but like with his deviancy, his murderous compulsions are lying just beneath the surface. As for why it springs out, he's packing a switchblade where the knife is retracted until you push a button on the hilt.
@@austinkersey2445
So the blade is sticking out because he is trying to control his "Evil" impulses? That pretty simple.
It's not her in particular. It's all women. But I think the dancer symbolises how he views women in general.
ein Meisterwerk
Imagine Mitchum as Judge Holden.
Excellent thriller movie 🎬
1:11 Song?
"Blanc et Noir" by Rivers Boggs
dangerous preacher robert mitchum good actor
The Reverend Harry Powell would today be a voice for the Tea Party. He'd be a right hand man for Mike Huckabee - calling for an end to Planned Parenthood. For sure he'd be a regular guest on Fox News.
+Mark Weinstein
Yes, the film is a Christian parable, contrasting Mitchum's "preacher" who twists the Bible to justify greed and murder, is obsessed with, fears and hates sex, with the truly Christ-like figure of Lillian Gish's character and her selfless compassion for the vulnerable and cast-off. Very apropos today indeed!
Kind of smug, Mark. What do you think about the election?
Aw man, I love it when Libs always try to align films with their political perspective just to help them sleep better at night
Mark Weinstein jesus christ people delude themselves so bad
Je Javier Yes, I sleep terribly supporting a greedy career-long fraudster and con artist who lies uncontrollably, exploits racism for gain, treats his ex-porn model trophy wife like property, insults military veterans without serving a day himself and admits to sexual assault on tape. Oh, wait...
NO ESTÁ EN ESPAÑOL
wow just say the plot.
Creepy!
Robert Mitchum plays JosephsMyth the Mormon prophet......
Radio Raheem.
One hell of a funny movie. 😁😂🤣🤣
Huh?
@@johnl1685 it's as funny as it is deadly serious. think because of how true to life it is. it's unnerving in that way.
0:18 is one of the samples used in the Scorn song Nothing Hunger from the album Colossus.
