Classic Film : Cape Fear (1962)

Cape Fear (1962)

This is a great thriller from the 60s, with Gregory Peck and Robert Mitchum in fine form as the hero and villain respectively.

Re: Cape Fear (1962)

I haven't seen it since it was released, but I remember then thinking that it was an excellent thriller. Wonderful performances, for sure. Mitchum was particularly good in a very difficult role in which he could easily have gone over the top, but, of course, he didn't.

I didn't see the remake. I thought the first one was good enough for me - just as suspenseful without the violence I was sure would be in the new one.
