Robert Mitchum was always the ultimate bad boy
of the Noir Age. Here he is as the deadly preacher in The Night of the Hunter
(1955). Derek Prosser described it as one of the most daring, eloquent and
personal films to have come out of America. All true.
The tats were, of course, an addition by Mitchum himself.
The children's magical river journey in the film inspired the grisly opening of Zen city, Iso and the dream sequence towards the end.
