Night of the Hunter
Friday, October 16th
6:30 p.m.
Thomaston Academy Building, Room 208
Bogus "preacher" Harry Powell (Robert Mitchum) learns that cellmate Ben Harper (Peter Graves) has stashed a passel of stolen loot on his property. After the demented Powell is released, he charms Ben's widow (Shelly Winters) into getting hitched, and in time, only Ben's kids stand between Powell and the money. As he stalks them relentlessly, they seek refuge with the indomitable Rachel Cooper (Lillian Gish), setting the stage for an inexorable battle of wills.
The Night of the Hunter was produced in 1955 and runs 93 minutes. Light refreshments will be served and admission, as always, is free. For more information, call the library at (207) 354-2453.
