(Charles Laughton, US 1955, 93 min., 35mm)

Tattooed with LOVE and HATE across his knuckles, Robert Mitchum is a murderous man of the cloth in pursuit of two children and a cache of stolen money. “This is a favorite for the blend of childhood mythology and horror: the shots of bunnies on the river bank; Shelley Winters underwater; and the angelic Lillian Gish and the satanic Robert Mitchum joining voices for the hymn Leaning on the Everlasting Arms”—Jack Garner.
