BfromSanFrancisco Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Night of the Hunter is such a masterpiece, it is hard to believe that it is the only directorial effort by Charles Laughton. Has anyone ever seen or heard an explanation of Laughton's reason for stopping after one brilliant work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vallo13 Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Although The night of the hunter was well received it did not lead to any more directing jobs for Laughton,so he continued to act(from IMDb.com) vallo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BfromSanFrancisco Posted October 5, 2005 Author Share Posted October 5, 2005 Thanks for the reply. IF there had been a stronger Indie community back then, maybe someone would have tried to back him again. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
movieman1957 Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 At the end of the showing this week Robert Osborne had a book he said either just came out or is due soon about this movie and Laughton. I'd look for it on this website or in stores soon, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
