"Cape Fear"

Posted by rico (A) on May 31, 2006 at 09:42:25

While watching the original last night I couldn't help but think of how the brooding Bernard Herrman score enhances the picture overall, as does almost every one of his scores. In this perfect "B" movies, freed convict Robert Mitchum arrives in ansmall southern town to terorrize attorney Gregory Peck and his family. Peck had testifies against Mithcum in a trial eight years ago. Peck seeks police and legal help, then turning to a private detective and then finally to hired thugs to beat Mitchum. Throughout, Mitchum, who has studied law in prison, manages to thwart Peck every step of the way.
The climax occurs on a houseboat on the Cape Fear River. Remade in the nineties by Martin Scorcese who wisely chose to retain the Herrman music. That one is on tap for tonight.
