(U.S., 1955)  Directed by Charles Laughton, 93 min., not rated

In what its director, the famed actor Charles Laughton, called a “nightmarish sort of Mother Goose tale,” a handsome but psychological “preacher” (Robert Mitchum, in his greatest performance) exploits a rural widow (Shelley Winters) and her two small children while in pursuit of stolen money. Lillian Gish also stars.
