Where did the Love/Hate knuckles come from?
The American movie classic, "The Night of the Hunter." Starring Robert Mitchum and directed by Charles Laughton, this movie is justifiably famous for its beautiful, shadowy images, its haunting story and music, and its frightening themes.
I'll tell you what The Night of the Hunter is about, why it's famous, why it's good, and what it has to do with America and Protestantism.
It's Episode 12 of my series, "What Makes This Movie Great?"
