Ben is found guilty of murder and executed and, upon his release from jail, Harry decides the way to the money is through Ben's God fearing, simple-minded widow, Willa (Shelley Winters).

Director: Charles Laughton Writers: Davis Grubb(novel), James Agee(screenplay) Cast: Robert Mitchum, Shelley Winters, Lillian Gish Genre: Film Noir

Based on the novel of the same title, Night of the Huntercasts Robert Mitchum in the lead role as Harry Powell, an unethical preachercum murderer.

While the film is good and full of suspense the one key factor that sells it is Mitchum, who is so devishly good as the preacher who preaches love/hate, written on his fingers.
