Audio problem: When Willa Harper is lying in bed talking to Harry her mouth movements are out of sync with the dialogue.
The Night of the Hunter (1955)
Directed by: Charles Laughton
Starring: Robert Mitchum, Shelley Winters, Lillian Gish, James Gleason
Continuity mistake: On the honeymoon night, when Willa approaches to the bed, Harry stands up and lights the lamp above in front of him. Between shots the lamp changes position.
Factual error: After Harry Powell disappears from in front of Ms. Cooper's yard, a barn owl swoops down on a rabbit. We can hear the owl's wings flap even though barn owls make no noise when they fly.
Rachel Cooper: Women are such durn fools.
Rev. Harry Powell: There are things you do hate, Lord. Perfume-smellin' things, lacy things, things with curly hair.
Rev. Harry Powell: I can hear you whisperin' children, so I know you're down there. I can feel myself gettin' awful mad. I'm out of patience children. I'm coming to find you now.
Question: It's never explained how Harry Powell gets that Model-T into the middle of the lake. Any possible answers?
