   Night of the Hunter, made in the mid-50s, was the only film that Charles
Laughton ever directed.  It was GREAT.  Brooding atmosphere, great camera
work.  Too bad Laughton never directed another film.
   BTW, Mitchum (in perhaps the best performance of his career) played
a murdering minister, not a priest.  Back in those days, Hollywood would
never portray a priest that way.
