This week on Remainders we cover the 1955 classic The Night of the Hunter. A one-and-done directed movie by screen legend Charles Laughton, this noir/thriller stars Robert Mitchum as a faux preacher serial killer targeting housewives by the score. Although largely ignored at the time of release, Hunter has grown in status and is now regarded as one of the best films of all time with clear influence from the silent era and German Expressionism.Other topics include why critics may have dismissed Hunter, Mitchum and Laughton’s larger-than-life screen presence, recent live shows, book recommendations, new prints at Darrenvorel.com, high and low art, beard status, and our new Song of the Week picks. It's love that's won, and old left hand hate is down for the count!Song PicksDarren: What Would You Like Me To Do by Meat WavePatrick: Halloween by HelloweenWebsiteFacebookInstagramYouTubeTwitter
