Join us at the Lincoln Theatre for our November Film Series: The third annual Noirvember!
November 12: The Night of the Hunter
The great Robert Mitchum stars in this "rural noir" as one of the greatest villains in film history -- the Rev. Harry Powell, a religious fanatic and serial killer. Serving time in prison for car theft, he meets a condemned murderer who confesses to hiding $10,000 in stolen cash. Once he's released from jail, Powell is obsessed with finding the money, and he tracks down Harper's widow, Willa (Shelley Winters), and her two children -- and charms, cajoles, and threatens his way closer and closer to the loot.
"It's unlike anything else before and since. And that is why this strident psychological horror stands up now as one of the great pieces of American genre cinema." —Weny Ide, Times UK
"It's the most haunted and dreamlike of all American films, a gothic backwoods ramble with the Devil at its heels." —Tom Huddleston, Time Out
