Review of The Night of the Hunter (1955) by Roger Ebert for Chicago Sun-Times — 30 Mar 1967
One of the greatest of all American films, but has never received the attention it deserves because of its lack of the proper trappings. Many "great movies'' are by great directors, but Laughton directed only this one film, which was a critical and commercial failure long overshadowed by his acting career.
