Cemetery Film Screenings - Night of the Hunter - September 3rd

Not Afraid · 08-30-2005, 01:04 PM

The Good News: They've extended the season thru September.

The Bad News: They're not showing All About Eve this Saturday, but I've heard this film is fantastic.

I'm not positive Chris and I are going yet. We'll post when we know.

NIGHT OF THE HUNTER

Directed by Charles Laughton
Starring Robert Mitchum
Saturday, Sept. 3rd
NEW TIME!!!
Gates at 7:00 pm
Film at 8:30 pm
Hollywood Forever Cemetery
6000 Santa Monica Boulevard at Gower
No reservation necessary.
$10 donationTickets available at gate.

We are happy to announce that we will be extending our season through September!

As a courtesy to other movie-goers: NO TALL CHAIRS!!

Actor Charles Laughton’s one and only film as a director is one of Hollywood’s most unusual masterpieces. Filled with hallucinatory imagery and gorgeous chiaroscuro, Night of the Hunter is one of the most haunting thrillers of all time. A crooked psychopath disguised as a preacher (Robert Mitchum) goes on the trail of hidden heist money, the secret of which is held by two children. When the children go on the run, the preacher stalks them across the rural countryside of the depression-era American Midwest. Mitchum’s character is undoubtedly one of the most sinister and twisted in all of classic cinema, and the best of his many roles. Maniacal tent revivalism and the quiet beauty of riverside communities are depicted with equal mastery in this rare cinematic gem.

Oh my God! This is one of my all-time favorite films...the cinematography alone is so worth it. It's like being on drugs, without the expense or morning-after!

Of course, I've got concert tickets that night...but anyone who has not seen this movie MUST GO!

Me, too, Lizzie! Me, too!!!! Such a good movie. Oh, Lord.

Dang, we'll be at one of two BBQs this weekend. But hooray for the September extension!

If there is any way you can - GO SEE THIS MOVIE!

Quote:

What's it to be, Lord, another widow? Has it been six? Twelve? ... I disremember.
You say the word, and I'm on my way.
You always send me money to go forth and preach your Word. A widow with a little wad of bills hidden away in the sugar-bowl.
I am tired. Sometimes I wonder if you really understand.
Not that you mind the killin's...
Yore Book is full of killin's.
But there are things you do hate, Lord: perfume-smellin' things -- lacy things -- things with curly hair --

My first Mitchum was Cape Fear. Man, he could be scarier. He was so much more menacing - in his quiet way - than DeNiro was in the remake. And, man, Night of the Hunter. LOVE. HATE. Man, he was goooood. The script was....ah....so perfect.

Oh let me add my KUDOS for Night of Hunter. Mitchum is scary as hell in this movie! Robbed of an Oscar (though nominated if my memory is correct). This film is also the only film directed by Charles Laughton (a genius of an actor) and the cinematography of this film is stunning, deep focus b/w and beautifully composed. Cast with many great character actors (inlcuding the always wonderful James Gleason), this film is in my top 20.

My only complaint is, I can't be there to see it too!

It's seeing the film or seeing The Knitters. Hard choice.

Not Afraid · 09-02-2005, 11:16 PM

Well, it's not such a hard choice when Monday is a holiday and Sunday is available to see The Knitters. Night of the Hunter is MINE! (To share with 95,000 undead and another 1000 or so living.)
