Northwest Montana History Museum Movie Night "The Night of the Hunter" (1955)

Description

When murderer and self-proclaimed preacher Harry Powell (Robert Mitchum) learns of the opportunity to swoop in and take $10,000 worth of stolen money from his soon-to-be dead cellmate in prison, he doesn’t even stop to consider the lives of widowed mother Willa Harper (Shelley Winters) and her young children John (Billy Chapin) and Pearl (Sally Jane Bruce), who know where it is hidden.

While Harry has Willa and the rest of the town fooled, John remains suspicious of the so-called preacher’s true motives and searches for answers. Will the family be able to hold itself together with a murderer on the loose, or will the preacher get what he wants with more than a few bodies in his wake?

Admission and popcorn are free, with soda, water, beer, and wine available for purchase. Seating is provided, but guests are welcome to bring their own cushions or chairs for added comfort. We hope to see you there!
