Stare at the guy everybody looks toward! See everyone see the fella! Observe, he who is noticed by all! Study the gentleman who is of visual interest to people!
Just fancied something with a bit of Ennio in it.

Flatscreen televisions? As opposed to what, a black and white CRT with wood panelling? A flatscreen just a standard television and has been for roughly two decades now.

If you don't at least get a BIT of a wet eye during Gish's closing monologues, WHERE IS YOUR SOUL!?
Wonderful first pick @anabelat.bsky.social, it's always a delight and a true sadness that Laughton never made another film.

Gish really, really brings a tear to my eye when she reacts so empathetically to Ruby's confession.
Imagine Harry reacting to that, the switchblade would probably be involved.
She's not taken in by his shit, she immediately believes John.

Mitchum was not initially convinced of Lillian Gish as being a counterpart to Harry, seeing her as "fragile".
Laughton screened Mitchum a scene from one of her earlier silents where she did some crazy stunt over a waterfall and said "I wouldn't do that!"
So, convinced he was!

So, another set bound, silent film inspired visual delight of Harry on the horse. Forced perspective somewhat in that it's actually a little actor on a small pony.

Of note; the whole river sequence is a soundstage shoot, which really amps the surreality of the film up. The pretty fly song is magic.

One other Mitchum/Laughton story I learned from Laughton's biography; on a car ride, Laughton came out to Mitchum, who simply replied "No shit!" and then joked "Stop the car!"
They became fast friends after that.

Mitchum really amps it up from here on out, it's clear of course from frame one that Harry's a bastard, but now he is EXTRA.
When Laughton cast him, he told Mitchum that the character was a "diabolical shit". Mitchum simply replied "Present!"

My understanding of how Laughton directed this was that there was obviously the novel and a pretty weighty script, but he largely allowed the actors a fair amount of leeway in creating the tone.
His idea for the look of it all was largely based around his love of silent film.

So, the influence of this film on later filmmakers is pretty massive, the Coens in particular. Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing also has Radio Raheem, who pretty much does the whole "left hand/right hand" speech.
Also, weirdly influenced a LOT of music.

Shelley Winters, one of the many stars of our very first SundayCinema, The Poseiden Adventure!
She did bring a load of thematic weight to the film in conversations with director Charles Laughton, seeing her character as a fly, fascinated by a spider.

But one day she flew away.
