About this Event
dir. Charles Laughton // 1955 // 1 hr 33 min
The only film ever directed by actor Charles Laughton, Robert Mitchum is a serial killing preacher Harry Powell, who marries a fragile widow to get close to her terrified young children who know about a hidden stash of money. Graced by images of eerie beauty and a sneaky sense of humor, this ethereal, expressionistic Southern gothic is cinema’s most eccentric rendering of the battle between good and evil.
ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOODLAND... is a series hosted and programmed by KCAI lecturer Kara Heitz looking at classic Hollywood films and history from the advent of sound to the birth of New Hollywood.
