Cape Fear

6/10, 5/10

CAPE FEAR (1962/1991). Version 1 features Gregory Peck as the good guy and Robert Mitchum as the bad guy who won’t leave poor Greg alone; in Scorsese’s more recent film, it’s Nick Nolte who’s being persecuted by an implacable Robert de Niro. These films plug into our fear of revenge from someone we may have wronged.
