If you can get past the whole “ticking a woman into sex with a stranger” thing it’s a pretty good comedy.

While it does it’s best to present the horrors of the holocaust, it’s TV movie status prevent it from truly hitting home. It does succeed in its presentation of characters and creates a somewhat gripping escape story. It’s no Great Escape or Schindlers List, but it’s a competent and entertaining story about optimism in the face of oppression.

A unliquely stylish movie. Charles Laughton’s Night of the Hunter combines noir, horror  domestic drama elements, while also abandoning many their tropes. It’s a dream-like experience that completely holds up over 50 years after its initial release.

Someone free me from this obsession
