OMG - what a movie, where to begin what to say - David Lynch 1955?, LOVE - HATE, woodland creatures watching on, stunning visuals of an underwater corpse, beat you over the head metaphores and visuals, some of the best lines ever, thinking about canning, Parkerville and Cincinati the sodoms of the Ohio...

I don't think I can talk about this film in a linear fashion - great for a cemetary viewing...

Oh, much better than David Lynch! I wanted to mention the underwater corpse, but decided not to ruin the scene for you. Shot with such care, it's a lovely and horrifying moment!

Makes me pleased to hear how you enjoyed it. I agree, wonderful for cemetary viewing, even better on your own couch, at midnight, in the dark!

WOW! What can I even say about this film. I love it! I wish I had the ability to write down all of the incredible lines and momorize them for future use (not that anyone would "get" what I'm saying). The corpse scene was amazing and beautiful. Robert Mitchum is so terrifying - and we had to go searching to see if we could determine why the love/hate tatoos appear in three films (one a remake). We never found the answer.

The acting by the children (they will abide) was so great! Apparently, Laughton hated children and Mitchum directed them in their scenes.

One line made la laugh out loud alone. During the trip down the river as the camera focussed on various wildlife, there was a shot of a turtle on a rock. The boy said "They make soup outta those". It just killed me - and it was the only animal that was commented on, I believe. Why? Were we being told they were hungry? I don't know, but it was a great line.

There's a TON of unique or interesting words and phrases used throughout the film. I've already used "betwixed".

ISM said, after the film, I this would be the perfect movie to run across on TV when you're stoned. I agree.
