If you loved Witness for the Prosecution, try The Night of the Hunter
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Crime / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Witness for the Prosecution, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Night of the Hunter is
West Virginia hills, summer dusk, a preacher's voice carries. Two children flee through the woods, a stolen fortune and a dead father's secret between them. Laughton's lone directorial effort remains a haunting outlier in 50s American cinema.
