The Night of the Hunter/Trivia

*As printed on the back of the 2000 VHS:
**The Night of the Hunter is the only film that celebrated actor Charles Laughton ever directed.
**The Night of the Hunter was banned in Memphis, Tennessee by an 88-year-old censor who described it as "the rawest film he'd ever seen" (Variety).
**Village Voice reporter Carrie Rickey was so taken by Mitchum's chillingly real performance that she actually checked the actor's knuckles to see if the tattoos "love" and "hate" were still etched upon them.
