Check out <em>Heaven &#038; Hell To Play with- The Filming Of Night Of The Hunter<\/em>. It&#8217;s a great book by Preston Neal Jones, written after years of painstaking research. It documents the creation of Charles Laughton&#8217;s only directorial effort. ( In Motion Pictures) through the voices of all the major players and through watching the recently unearthed outtakes at UCLA&#8217;s film preservation department with Robert Gitt. Let me say here and now that I love this movie. I grew up watching it on television and it was very influential to me. So if you haven&#8217;t seen it, go rent it now! Then read this book, it is not only inspirational, it also shows in great detail what goes into directing a film! What&#8217;s important! Laughton, a great actor and a great communicator got so much from his cast and crew by his way of working with them. He surrounded himself with talented people and inspired them to do ( in many cases) their greatest work. That&#8217;s a director&#8217;s primary job! Hats off to Mr. Jones for this great work, a real service to the Film Community. Also I&#8217;m looking forward to watching Mr. Gitt&#8217;s documentary on <em>Night Of The Hunter<\/em> made from the aforementioned outtakes.<br \/>\n<a href='http:\/\/filmforno.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/hunterlc.jpg' title='hunterlc.jpg'><img src='http:\/\/filmforno.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/hunterlc.jpg' alt='hunterlc.jpg' \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><em>Mexican Lobby Card from the Original Release, part of My Collection of Cool Film Stuff<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All you would be directors out there, listen up!
