Refresh My Memory – Night of the Hunter

Robert Mitchum is a wise cracking fun loving preacher in Charles Laughton’s 1955 rom-com The Night of the Hunter. At least that’s what I assume the movie will be. Let me just watch it and finish this write up.

Oh Lord. Um.. strike most of that. I think I got the names and the date right. Eric Fell, Vicky Van and Jason Dedrick share their memories of this dark classic.

Snacks will be served including Hunter’s Chicken. Here’s a recipe.

And because we’re not getting through this sober – An Old Fashioned. Here’s a video on how to make this classic:

They also create a tribute drink called the Dodgy Preacher. How do you make it?

  • Put a scoop of ice cream in a glass
  • Add 1 1/2 oz of Peach Brandy
  • And 1 oz Fireball Whiskey
  • Garnish with an apple slice

It’s a drink the producer’s wife said, “Oh God no! This tastes like the camp councillor’s cabin in a slasher movie.”

If you make a Dodgy Preacher or, better yet, make up one of your own, please send a picture to sneakyd@sneakydragon.com by following this link! Even if you don’t, we’d still love to hear from you. Also let us know what you think of the show and if you have any suggestions for future films.

Produced by Ian Boothby
Theme song by Chris Roberts
