Tossup

A character played by this actor kisses a woman on the neck before the camera travels to a door being flung open by thunder and water pouring off of the roof. That character played by this actor reclines deeply in the foreground while being hired by a gambler who tells him a story about a horse the gambler lost money on. In that film, this actor’s character narrates a lengthy flashback that includes when he first finds a woman in a (*) Mexican cafe. This actor played a different character who berates his wife for suggesting they have sex in an expressionistically-lit bedroom whose steep-angled roof resembles a church. This actor starred as a private investigator in Jacques Torneur’s Out of the Past and also played a character (10[1])who gives a speech about the story of love and hate, two words he has tattooed on his knuckles. For 10 points, name this actor who played a serial killer masquerading as a preacher in The Night of the Hunter. ■END■
