Spellbound by a Sleeper
Contributed by Dave Wilson, lead singer-songwriter of bluegrass group Chatham County Line
Musician Dave Wilson describes being struck by the legacy of The Night of the Hunter, a film essentially ignored directly after its release in 1955 but celebrated by critics decades later. (In fact, in 1998 the magazine Cahiers du Cinema listed it as the second most beautiful film of all time.)
