Original United Artists Three Sheet Poster (39.5×78) for the Charles Laughton film-noir thriller, THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER (1955) starring Robert Mitchum, Shelley Winters, and Lillian Gish. Beloved by Mitchum fans and considered by many to be a horror masterpiece, the film was a critical and box office flop. So much so that director Laughton swore he would never direct another film—and he didn’t. Mitchum gives a stunning and frightening performance as a religious fanatic who marries and murders widows for their money, believing he was helping God rid the world of women who arouse men’s carnal instincts. This original three sheet poster is linen-backed but is graded as good because the linen backing is old. MovieArt will sell this three sheet completely rebacked afresh for $900 or reduce the price to $500 as is.

Its condition is graded very good plus—with some fold distresses and separations, some water staining, some tears and missing paper, pinholes in the borders, and edge wear.
