home theater. THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER - OmU

Ben Harper (Peter Graves) has robbed a bank and killed two men in the process. On the run from the police, he manages to hide the loot with his children John (Billy Chapin) and Pearl (Sally Jane Bruce). But shortly afterwards he is arrested and later sentenced to death. In his cell, he meets Reverend Harry Powell (Robert Mitchum), who is in prison for a petty offense but is actually a serial killer. He finds out about the loot and shortly afterwards Ben is executed. Harry Powell introduces himself to the widow and manages to persuade her to marry him. Soon afterwards, he finds out where the money is hidden - which does not bode well for the family.
