I hadn't seen #TheNightOfTheHunter in quite awhile. It's one of those films that gets better and better the more you watch it. Great choice! #TCMParty

#TheNightOfTheHunter has it all: cast, pacing, editing, music, cinematography. Does anyone know why Laughton never directed again? Too many headaches pulling a film all together, and wanted to stick to acting? He did a great job. #TCMParty.

I had forgotten just how terrifying Robert Mitchum is in #TheNightOfTheHunter. I bet he had a ball filming this!

This shot is one of the greatest in film history. It presents so many emotions all at once: horror, beauty, serenity, brutality. Amazing accomplishment. #TheNightOfTheHunter #TCMParty
