The setting

A guilty pleasure

If I’m honest I probably shouldn’t give it top rating, because, it’s a twee, daytime tv, light hearted crime drama that is over cutesy... That being said, I love it almost as much as my favourite Brit drama, Death in Paradise... It is a charming break from all the violent dramas that pepper our screens these days, the main 3 cast members really work well together as a mismatched pair of Investigators and their wannabe thespian assistant Sebastián.

"Charles Laughton’s only film as director, scripted by James Agee from the book by Davis Grubb. It’s a fairy-tale version of a crime-suspense drama, as two children are pursued through a magical, haunted landscape by a demented yet canny preacher (Robert Mitchum). There’s a grown-up story about a stash of stolen money, but Laughton’s masterstroke is to ignore that and present the human monster from the children’s point of view, as a remorseless bogeyman."
