Watching this movie was an enjoyable experience. It was one of the films that went along. I thought it was great, but not superior. Until the end. That sealed the deal and made this one of the most brilliant films of all time. See it!

Laughton is great. I'll have to add him to the tags. I recently watched a double-feature on him as King Henry the VIII, the first one was in 1933 (The Private Life of King Henry VIII) and the followup twenty years later in 1953, Young Bess. He's also good in the Hunchback of Notre Dame.
Plus the one movie he directed is pretty good Night of the Hunter.
And I love The Night of the Hunter! If you're only gonna direct one movie...
It's really hard to choose a sole film by him, but a personal favourite for me is "This Land Is Mine".
