Thanks for that info. Since the plot was from a book published in the early 30s, I think it likely it was an earlier version of Night of the Hunter. The similarities couldn't be coincidence, I wouldn't think. There are a lot of B movies of that era that are now totally forgotten, but it did make it to TV at some point. At the time, I hadn't even heard of the later Night of the Hunter. This other version, I'd guess, was made around 1940. It made an impression on me. It had some fascinating scenes.
