The classic riverboat scene from Night of the Hunter (1955), starring Robert Mitchum, Shelly Winters, & Lillian Gish, and directed by Charles Laughton. Set during the Great Depression, part fairy tale, part Film Noir, this story of Good vs Evil is one of the most influential films ever made. It’s been paid homage to by, among others, Martin Scorcese, Spike Lee, the Coen brothers, David Lynch (who based a lot of his own style on it), Terrence Malick„ Jim Jarmusch, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and The Simpsons. Mitchum’s Harry Powell is one of the greatest psychotic villains in movie history. Happy Halloween! https://youtube/watch?v=iFzTBPy7nl8
