Product Description:
This good vs. evil thriller casts Mitchum as sadistic ex-con Max Cady determined to wreak revenge on the family of Sam Bowden, the good small-town lawyer who put him in jail years earlier. Stripped of legal recourse, the civilized Bowden is slowly forced to lower himself to Cady's bestial level to protect his family. Based on "The Executioners" by John D. MacDonald.
Amazon.com essential video:
Superior to Martin Scorsese's punishing 1991 remake, this 1962 thriller directed by J. Lee Thompson (The Guns of Navarone) stars Robert Mitchum as a creepy ex-con angry at the attorney (Gregory Peck) whom he believes is responsible for his incarceration. After Mitchum makes clear his plans to harm Peck's family, a fascinating game of crisscrossing ethics and morality takes place. Where the more recent version seemed trapped in its explicitness, Thompson's film accomplishes a lot with a more economical and telling use of violence. The result is a richer character study with some Hitchcockian overtones regarding the nature of guilt. --Tom Keogh

Two of the greatest actors of all time square off in this masterpiece of suspense and psychological terror. Gregory Peck (To Kill A Mockingbird, The Omen) is Sam Bowden, an upright lawyer. Robert Mitchum (Night Of The Hunter) is Max Cady, a cunning, violent madman who holds Bowden responsible for his 8-year prison stretch. Cady begins to stalk Bowden, his wife (Polly Bergen), and their teen daughter (Lori Martin). The tension builds as Cady slithers along, skirting the law, while terrorizing the ... Read More

This is one of the all time terror in your own backyard movies. Robert Mitchum plays the normal looking psycho who has locked the cross-hairs his vidictive and murderous hate on a family man and his wife and daughter. Mitchum is absolutely off the charts as the unstopable and ubiquitous evil, he is all in to ruin Gregory Peck's perfect little life, by devouring his wife and daughter. The music is idyllic in the man's yard till terror in the person of Bob Mitchum blots out any sense of normalcy. ... Read More

Mitchum plays a great menacing guy and Peck is not bad as the lawyer trying to save his family. The film's weaknesses are it's points of unbeleiveability, of which there are more than a few. Many things in the course of events are just too convenient and one just has to accept them rather than see how the characters actually acheived them - like when Cody follows Kojak's motorboat in a rowboat. Right. Or when Cody (Mitchum) drowns the police guard who barely puts up a fight, doesn't make a sound, ... Read More

Before you take my title out of context let me say this; I really, really like this film. With that said, I must confess that, while many here seem to consider this superior to Scorsese's 1991 remake, I feel that Scorsese upped the ante so-to-speak and delivered a more suspenseful and ultimately more intelligent thriller. Sure, this is a lot more subtle than Scorsese's (sign of the times my friend) but just because Scorsese added more violence doesn't make his any less effective. Scorsese tapped ... Read More

Boy, this shows that you can still make a scary movie without a lot of blood, profanity and whatever. Hollywood didn't learn that, however, featuring all of it less than a decade after this was made. The Martin Scorcese 1991 re-make of this movie is exactly what I'm talking about.
This original Cape Fear was legitimately scary, thanks to the performance of Robert Mitchum, who doesn't need to resort to the f-word to be a tough, sick and really an evil character as he stalks Gregory Peck ... Read More
