	'Cape Fear' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		What's puzzling about "Cape Fear," though, is why, at this stage of his career, Scorsese would set his sights so low.
		But "Cape Fear" is far from Scorsese at his best; in fact, it's our mostinteresting filmmaker's least interesting work.
		In remaking the effective but minor 1962 thriller, the filmmakers have improved on the original, but the original is still there, at least in skeletal form, and they haven't managed to transcend its limitations.

		But this boldly imagined film is also Scorsese's first remake, which raises the question "Why Cape Fear?" Director J. Lee Thompson's 1962 film worked just fine, as did Robert Mitchum as Max Cady, the ex-con who takes revenge on a lawyer (Gregory Peck) by scaring his wife (Polly Bergen) and daughter (Lori Martin).
		In the first Cape Fear, Cady was the only walking time bomb; in the Scorsese version, everyone is ticking.
		In the 1962 version, Cady first showed his sinister hand by spying on the Bowdens at a bowling alley.

	DVD Verdict Review - Cape Fear (1962)
		The success of the 1962 version is entirely due to three things—an extraordinary performance by Robert Mitchum, the direction of J. Lee Thompson, and James Webb's script that builds the tension gradually but continuously and realistically to a final climactic confrontation.
		Accordingly, he offered the Cape Fear job to Thompson, after Thompson had had an opportunity to read the book on which it was based and had indicated an interest in being involved.
		Thompson creates suspense and fear by focusing on the actors' physical and facial reactions to situations, by using light and shadow effectively, and by using the technique of first appearing to defuse a tense situation by providing an innocent explanation, only to suddenly turn up the screws by suddenly returning to the originally expected explanation.

	Cape Fear (1962/1991)
		The original Cape Fear is an effective fl and white thriller with a chilling score by the great Bernard Herrmann and an outstanding performance from Robert Mitchum, one of the few Hollywood stars of the time who would have consented to being cast as a vicious rapist who even preys upon Bowden’s teenage daughter.
		Scorcese’s Cape Fear conveys the unbalanced state of Cady’s mind by photographing him at wildly off-balanced angles, all of which conspire with DeNiro’s performance to make Cady a genuine monster, one of almost inhuman strength and resilience.
		Perhaps Cape Fear was Scorcese’s way of thanking the studio for their support, and also a way to strengthen his own box-office power.

		Cape Fear, based on John D. MacDonald's novel The Executioners, is considered by many to be a masterpiece of B movie filmmaking.
		But Cape Fear doesn't offer these juxtaposed forces in plain fl and white, rather we see the power of Cady's hatred begin to eat away at Bowden's worldview until the attorney begins adopt tactics against his adversary that he would never have considered in other circumstances.
		Cape Fear is a 60's classic that remains as entertaining today as when it was released.

	(DVD Review) Cape Fear 1962 - Gregory Peck & 1991- Robert DeNiro
		Fear of the Indian, fear of the slave, fear of the d*mn Union.
		The 1962 cast includes such greats as Gregory Peck, Robert Mitchum, and Polly Bergen; the "updated" 1991 version boasts the following big name stars, Robert De Niro, Nick Nolte, Jessica Lange, and is directed by master filmmaker Martin Scorsese.
		Watch them one at a time or serve up a doubleheader of Cape Fear fun, but what ever you do don't watch them alone, because horror is more fun when you have someone to watch with, be it 1962, 1991, or 2001.

	Cape Fear - DVD Movie Central
		Cape Fear is much more than a high profile remake, because in this case the director happens to be Martin Scorsese, who can pretty much take any movie in history, re-create it and make it his own.
		The 1962 thriller was a film Scorsese had always cherished as a classic B movie, in which the moral standards of the characters were set and very well illustrated.
		The result is a masterfully crafted movie extravaganza, with a wonderful visual style, and a pure sense of terror, and for my money, remains to this day as one of the best thrillers of the last decade.

	Cape Fear (1962): DVD details by TYS
		In “The Making Of Cape Fear,” Gregory Peck reveals that he knew that the role of Max Cady in his upcoming production of “Cape Fear” was a part with much more impact than his.
		The 1962 “Cape Fear” and its remake from 1991 both hit DVD shelves in October 2001.
		Assuming that the vast majority of the young movie going populace are not familiar with the first release, it’s a great opportunity to compare the two, and the transfer of this old fl and white classic looks good.

		Again, the movie is very intense and isn't recommended for those who have weak hearts and don't like scenes with graphic and disturbing violence.
		I just watched this movie for the first time in a number of years and I'd forgotten how truly great it is. I'd been waiting for the DVD to come out.

	Popcorn Monsters - Review for Cape Fear (1962) by mfs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		In the much better realized original version of Cape Fear, Sam Bowden (Gregory Peck), a lawyer in a laidback Florida town, confronts his worst nightmare in the form of Max Cady (Robert Mitchum), a man he helped to incarcerate 8 1/2 years previously in Baltimore, Maryland.
		In fact, almost everything about this production of Cape Fear seemed to scream, 'this is a Hitchcock film!' I almost expected to see Hitch make his way across the screen, in a comical cameo, as he is wont to do with his films.
		It must be reiterated again, that one must not accept 'any imitations.' Cape Fear, the original, is the one to bet your money on.

	Cape Fear (1962) (Review by David Litton) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		The 1962 version of "Cape Fear" is a classic horror movie in every sense of the word, with its high-pitched, screaming soundtrack, its acting, and the story that strays away from the violence seen in today's movies, but still takes a daring step for its time.
		Bowden soon realizes that the only avenue of protection for his family is to set a trap for Cady, prove that he is out to harm his wife and child, and have him either arrested or killed on the spot.
		It's interesting to watch thrillers from this day and age, and compare it to the tactics used in such movies as "Cape Fear." In a society where we resort to such violent and gruesome tactics in movies, sometimes it's nice to escape that and find something out of the norm.

	The DVD Journal: Double Feature: Cape Fear (1962) and Cape Fear: Collector's Edition (1991)
		With this narrative, Cape Fear, based on John D. MacDonald's pulp thriller The Executioners, is simply a lewd and sensational thriller no different in concept from the thousands of half-assed B-movies shown after 10 p.m.
		The overriding theme of this 1962 adaptation is Bowden's paralysis when caught between the law he exhorts and its failure to protect his family.
		Technically, the 1962 Cape Fear is an excellent accomplishment, full of vivid chiaroscuro lighting, superbly planned scenarios of sublimated tensions (including the super-taboo threat of sexual assault on a child), and a few eye-catching visual tricks.

		This two-pack includes both the original 1962 version and the inferior 1991 remake.
		The original "Cape Fear" is a magnificently horrific suspense movie, with a dynamic cast and solid script.

		In CAPE FEAR, Sam Bowden, a Florida lawyer, is assailed by a fearsome voice from his past.
		CAPE FEAR is one of a dozen or so films noir (THE DESPERATE HOURS, THE STRANGER, STRANGE BARGAIN, SHADOW OF A DOUBT, THE WRONG MAN, ACT OF VIOLENCE) that bring noir’s dangers into the living rooms of the middle class.
		It is no surprise that when Martin Scorcese remade CAPE FEAR in 1991, he found a place in a corner of the film for the still creepy, still potent Mitchum.

		The movie has a very creepy air to it - even though most of the violence and terror is implied.
		Cape Fear is exemplary of that very notion with its restrained dark tone.
		Minor complaints aside, this was a pretty great movie touching on a subject that seems to have been swept under the rug in those days, lest the woman be humiliated further.

		This is a classic movie, and whilst not the greatest thriller of all time, still a gem.

		In 1962, she gave films a second chance when she played a North Carolina housewife threatened with rape by rampaging ex-con Robert Mitchum in Cape Fear (1962) (over 20 years later, she and Mitchum played husband and wife in the popular TV miniseries The Winds of War and War and Remembrance).
		She also played small roles in two movies, The FBI Story and Machine Gun Kelly (all billed as Dawn Menzer), before getting a series of her own, as Velvet Brown in the NBC's version of National Velvet, for which producer Robert Maxwell gave her the name Lori Martin.
		That should have been enough to get her more movie work, but somehow the films and roles were there.
