'The Night of the Hunter' presented by Proof of Concept: A Santa Cruz Classic Film Series

Proof of Concept: A Santa Cruz Classic Film Series continues 'Noir Plus Ultra' with _The Night of the Hunter_, directed by Charles Laughton and starring Robert Mitchum, Shelley Winters, and Lillian Gish.

_The Night of the Hunter_ is a dark fairy tale for grown-ups, filmed through the dual lenses of Expressionism and Appalachia. The colliding universes of Atticus Finch & Dr. Caligari make for a scary, haunting, and lyrical experience, one propelled to the heights of spooky by Mitchum's sublimely deranged performance. This is one of the greatest & most essential of American films. We hope you can join us!
