The original Cape Fear
Compared to Martin Scorsese's brutal re-make, J. Lee Thompson's original is a subtler, vastly more chilling exercise, with Mitchum's Cady a searing portrait of evil and barely contained violence. The story examines how the law can work against the innocent when the victimizer knows just how far he can go to harrass his victims with impunity. Peck is reliably stolid as Sam, Polly Bergen excels as jittery wife Peggy, and both Martin Balsam and Telly Savalas provide assured support playing a sheriff and private detective. Edge-of-your-seat entertainment.

Cape Fearful
The suspence in Cape fear is thick as the humidity of a Carolina summer. Robert Mitchum wasone of the greatest actors he made it look easy and always gave the effort the role required. Cape fear was great Gregory Peck and the supporting cast do a good job. One of the best psycological thrillers.

Top Notch Thriller
The original version of Cape Fear is as thrilling in its presentation as any modern thriller or suspense. It has a dark mood to it, creepiness, and requires a sense of restlessness on the part of the audience: all important facets to suspense. The dark mood of the film is personified within the first ten minutes of the film, as we see the malicious ex-con Max Cody (played by Robert Mitchum) lurk in the background of the court and then finally confront the man who he seeks revenge on, lawyer Sam Bowden (Gregory Peck). Bowden doesn't immediately recognize Cody, and this only seems to engage his sinister nature even more. Bowden, from this point on, must do all he can to protect not only himself, but his family against this man.
Perhaps what makes this film work is simply Mitchum's performance of Max Cody. There is a despicable nature about Cody, a hard-edge persona there for the viewer to see, but there is still something else about his mannerisms that really get under your skin. Unlike some outright villains, he is not so much an open book as manipulative in temperament. Instead of raging and raising his voice at injustices, he has a smirk on his face and a calm manner while planning and plotting, and this makes him even more mysterious and malevolent. He is a quintessential bad guy, and probably ranks among the most despicable characters in film history simply because of his relentlessness and perversion.
Without giving too much away, if there was one blemish, it would be the seemingly rushed ending of the film. It was somewhat satisfying, but it seemed as though there would be more to tell at the end. This, however, does not take away from the performances, and the over all affect of the film. Great movie to watch if you want to see a top-notch thriller!

Gregory Peck
This is timeless, Gregory Peck is incredible. His role is similar to kill a mocking bird but the suspense is good old fashioned without all the horror of today's movies.
