Summary[edit]

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description	An illustration of the unorthodox lighting in The Night of the Hunter (1955) remniscent of German Expressionist cinema. Note the placement of the key light (main light) off the protagonist, played by Lillian Gish, to illuminate the villain Robert Mitchum. This lighting arrangement plays off the conventional association of light with good and darkness with evil.
