The Night of the Hunter is one of those films that I was prepared to love, tried to love and cannot love - there is simply too much wrong with it in terms of pacing and storyline. Mitcham's villainy is amazing, Miss Gish is wonderful, but the plot drags and the last act is too long by 15 minutes.

Mitchum was so effective in that role, so menacing but weirdly playful in his sermonizing. He lets you see his character thinking in real time, manipulating others, “lovingly” threatening and shaming that little boy. It’s a really dark character and pretty fascinating to watch.
