#86 NIGHT OF THE HUNTER (1955)
SHELLY WINTERS
SWIMS WITH THE FISHES
Years ago, when I asked my Grandfather Robert A. Berry I, what the
scariest movie he ever saw was, without hesitation he mentioned
Night of The Hunter. He specifically mentioned the scene where
Shelly Winters' character is discovered underwater, eerily floating
with her throat slashed, while tied to a Model T Ford at the bottom
of a lake. The movie is full of great chills, but this one stands
out as one of the best. And you can't beat the eerie singing by
Robert Mitchum's character at the end. This was the only film
directed by Charles Laughton. It's a shame he didn't make more.
