John Harper (Billy Chapin) and Pearl Harper (Sally Jane Bruce) desperately try to escape the menacing Harry Powell (Robert Mitchum) in The Night of the Hunter. The boat sequence I’ve always found to be fantastic with its nightmarish fairy tale realization. Laughton’s choice here to film it that way is quite remarkable to not play it entirely straight and matter of fact.

I have no idea if Sherman Torgan was a fan of this movie or not, but I’ve been saving posting this image for a special occasion, and now in honor of Sherman Torgan (who sadly passed away unexpectedly) I present it. “Out of the Past” is one of my favorite film noir films. It has a timeless and life affirming luster about it. Its vibrant pulse keeps viewers coming for further viewings, while never growing dull and somehow seeming to grow more and more distinct and intimate.
