NIGHTCAP






THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER (1955)

This film was the first film the actor Charles Laughton directed
and is worth watching because:

The screenplay was written by James Agee (reason enough to watch it)
A brilliant performance by Robert Mitchum
And the photography of cinematographer Stanley Cortez is absolutely beautiful
and reminded me a lot of the work of photographer Walker Evans (I have posted on him before) and the artwork for Earth's Hex: Or Printing in the Infernal Method (this album deserves a separate post sometime)
