195. The Night of the Hunter (1955) & Night of the Juggler (1980)

This week, we discuss two American thrillers connected tenuously by their titles.

The first is The Night of the Hunter (1955), directed by Charles Laughton and starring Robert Mitchum, Shelley Winters and Lillian Gish. Mitchum plays a murderous preacher pursuing two young children.

The second is Night of the Juggler (1980), starring James Brolin as an ex-cop trying to get back his kidnapped daughter while navigating the mean streets of 1970s New York.
