Was this a common prison practice, something in the zeitgeist that NIGHT IN THE HUNTER (and the other films) referenced, or were the tattoos specifically designed to comment on Mitchell's deranged preacher? (He honestly doesn't have a whole lot to do with love, even with his explanation of the tattoo in the context of the film, hence my confusion.) tag:ask.metafilter.com,2005:site.26079 Tue, 25 Oct 2005 08:51:31 -0800 classic-film HATE hunter LOVE mitchum tattoos eschatfische
