Superb Suspense: Classic Movie Discussions, with Bobbie Stein
April 9, 2024 @ 2:45-4:00pm
This 4-session course focuses on suspense thrillers and film noir, each focused on a sensational film from Hollywood’s most dazzling classics. Bobbie discusses each movie, shows its trailer and selected video clips, and the backstory of the production, director and stars. Session #2 April 9: The Night of the Hunter (1955), starring Robert Mitchum, Shelley Winters and Lillian Gish. Mitchum plays a diabolical preacher, who is really a psychotic killer, and one of the most memorable screen villains of all time. He marries and murders Winters, then mercilessly stalks her two young children, hoping to steal a small fortune left to them by their dead father. Gish is the guardian angel protecting the little ones. Hunter was the only film ever directed by actor Charles Laughton, and what a thrilling job he did! Bobbie asks that you watch the movies before class. They're available on Amazon and Apple.
