Cover of Callow Simon Callow: Night of the Hunter (PDF)

This is an examination of ‘The Night of the Hunter’, Charles Laughton’s only outing as a film director. It looks at the symbolism of the piece, at Willa, her throat cut sitting in the Model-T Ford, and the Preacher, a silhouetted threat on the horizon.
