Episode 27: The Night Of The Hunter

This week on Remainders we cover the 1955 classic The Night of
the Hunter.

 A one-and-done directed movie by screen legend Charles
Laughton, this noir/thriller stars Robert Mitchum as a faux
preacher serial killer targeting housewives by the score.
Although largely ignored at the time of release, Hunter has grown
in status and is now regarded as one of the best films of all
time with clear influence from the silent era and German
Expressionism.

Other topics include why critics may have dismissed Hunter,
Mitchum and Laughton’s larger-than-life screen presence, recent
live shows, book recommendations, new prints at Darrenvorel.com,
high and low art, beard status, and our new Song of the Week
picks. It's love that's won, and old left hand hate is down for
the count!
