THURSDAY, MARCH 15th @ 6:30 p.m.
Here at the store we had a poster for author Preston Neal Jones book in the window, and I can’t tell you how many people have told me it’s one of their faorite films of all time.
One of the creepiest, coolest performances ever is that of the preacher, played by the amazing Robert Mitchum. Join us at the AERO THEATER in Santa Monica , and we’ll be there with our good friend Preston Neal Jones and his fantastic book,” Heaven & Hell To Play With-the Filming of Night of the Hunter.” Preston will be signing his book at 6:30 p.m. , followed by a screening of the film, and outtakes after that. Be afraid, very afraid, and come and learn why this classic film directed by screen legend Charles Laughton, was his only time behind the camera.
The AERO Theater is at 1328 Montana Avenue in Santa Monica.
Order a signed copy if you can’t make it, and we’ll get it personalized & delivered.
It’s the story of right hand, left hand…
