Frequently Asked Questions
- What is The Night Of The Hunter / Witness For The Prosecution about?
- Double Feature: THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER, 1955, MGM Repertory, 93 min. Robert Mitchum is astonishing as a sociopathic wandering preacher who uses his fire-and-brimstone fundamentalism to mask his schemes to blithely rob and murder gullible yokels - and puritanical Shelley Winters, left alone with her son and daughter and a stash of cleverly hidden loot, is a perfect target. Lillian Gish is rock-solid as the elderly matron who shelters the children when they flee from the homicidal Mitchum. Charles Laughton’s simultaneous debut and swan song as a film director.
WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION, 1957, MGM Repertory, 114 min. Dir. Billy Wilder. Accused murderer Tyrone Power (in his final film) is defended by ailing barrister Charles Laughton in Wilder's dark, delightful courtroom nailbiter. Marlene Dietrich as Power's duplicitous spouse helps supply one of the most insane, out-of-left-field twists in any mystery.
