Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Beautiful soundtrack, but narration may not be for all.......2006-04-02

Firstly, it must be said that this is a lush, beautiful, haunting, eerie, mesmerizing, sonorous, hypnotic, and truly remarkable score (phew! That's a lot of adjectives). It ranks among my favorites, and it was written for one of my all-time favorite films (too bad Charles Laughton never directed another film, for Night of the Hunter is a masterpiece of lyrical, chiaroscuroed lubricity and cinematic poetry). However, over the orchestrations, Laughton provides the listener with narration from the novel. Although Laughton's deep, measured voice may please some and compliment the music, others may find it unnecessary. If you want the soundtrack as to just have the score to listen to, this is certainly not for you. Yet this is an undeniably great score, and if you don't mind the narration, this may very well be worth a purchase.

2 out of 5 stars NOT the original sound track recording to "The Night of the Hunter".......2006-02-21

This was released around the time of the film release. It has Laughton narrating portions of the novel over the musical soundtrack to the film.
