  2. People also ask
    Did Mitchum actually act in the preacher?
    And answer: “Since the war, no American actor has made more first-class films, in so many different moods.” “The Night of the Hunter,” he observes, represents “the only time in his career that Mitchum acted outside himself,” by which he means there is little of the Mitchum persona in the Preacher.

    Did Charles Laughton pay Robert Mitchum for night of the Hunter?
    Charles Laughton had only one choice to pay the role of psycho-reverend- conman for his adaption of Night of the Hunter and it was Robert Mitchum. When he's on the screen Mitchum fills it with malevolence. It's an unusual part for Mitchum. Usually he's terse and laconic in films, but as Harry Powell he's just full of words.

    Is Mitchum a good movie?
    A definite one-of-a-kind film. Charles Laughton directed this film (his only time as a director) and it was a huge bomb in 1955. It's easy to see why--this film was years ahead of its time and some of it is downright horrifying. The scenes of Mitchum after the kids are truly scary.
