NIGHT OF THE HUNTER, THE (1955) 14621

Original United Artists Three Sheet Poster (39.5x78). Linen-backed. Good condition.

Original United Artists Three Sheet Poster (39.5x78) for the Charles Laughton film noir thriller, THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER (1955) starring Robert Mitchum, Shelley Winters, and Lillian Gish. Beloved by Mitchum fans and considered by many to be a horror masterpiece, the film was a critical and box office flop. So much so that director Laughton swore he would never direct another film - and he didn't. Mitchum gives a stunning and frightening performance as a religious fanatic who marries and murders widows for their money, believing he was helping God rid the world of women who arouse men's carnal instincts. This original three sheet poster is linen-backed but is graded as good because the linen backing is old. MovieArt will sell this three sheet completely re-backed afresh for $900 if you prefer. The poster is in good shape, but the linen, while adequate, is old. The poster could be improved with a new backing.
