  FEATURE FILM

• THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER by Charles Laughton
  1955, United States, 1 hour 29 minutes.
  Starring Robert Mitchum, Shelly Winters & Lilian Gish.
  The wedding night, the anticipation, the kiss, the knife, but above all... THE SUSPENSE!
  Robert Mitchum delivers the most daring and critically acclaimed performance of his life as a tall, handsome, and ever so slightly psychopathic 'preacher', his knuckles eerily tattoed with 'LOVE' and 'HATE'. He roams the countryside, spreading a Gospel of condemnation, and leaving a trail of murdered women in his wake. Now he's set his sights on $10,000 and the two innocent lambs who are the only ones who know where it's been hidden. With excellent supporting performances from Shelley Winters as the love-struck mother and Lilain Gish as a sweet gun-toting spinster, this is a marvellously acted and immaginatively shot chiller with a brooding power un-equalled in cinema Spellbinding, ominous and hauntingly suspensful, an extraordinary classic which remains one of the most frightening films ever made.
    "Easy, charming, infinitely sinister."
                —Time Out Best 100 Films
    "A great masterpiece of American cinema."
                —Radio Times, 5 Stars
