Bogart and Pat O`Brien are also in the flick. I am not sure what year it was released.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2363750719887401024.post-79249470148020111602008-12-31T22:51:00.000-08:002008-12-31T22:51:00.000-08:00You're right - that was a horrific moment!

I hate Illeana Douglas, but I still can't re-watch that scene.<BR/><BR/>But back to Mitchum in Cape Fear - it's the slow, methodical way he walks down the sidewalk to follow the daughter into the school; and then down the dock to talk to wife on the boat. <BR/><BR/>80's horror movies adopted the same slow steady gait for killers Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees. <BR/> <BR/>It works.kaelsuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01765700876904449092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2363750719887401024.post-4703379650126015002008-12-31T21:48:00.000-08:002008-12-31T21:48:00.000-08:00What - more menacing than the scene where De Niro ...What - more menacing than the scene where De Niro snapped Illeana Douglas' arm in half, bit off a chunk of her face, and beat her into unconsciousness?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2363750719887401024.post-24387499092451414382008-12-31T21:34:00.000-08:002008-12-31T21:34:00.000-08:00What about the 1978 version of "The Big Sleep"? h...What about the 1978 version of "The Big Sleep"? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077234/<BR/><BR/>Robert Mitchum plays Marlowe. <BR/> <BR/>I haven't seen it. It gets a much lower rating on IMDB than the Bogart movie, but I am always intrigued by Mitchum. <BR/><BR/>In the orginal Cape Fear, Mitchum played a more subtle Max Cady, who I think was equally as menacing in his own way, than was De Niro's version in the Scorsese remake.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2363750719887401024.post-17695451745437137682008-12-31T17:22:00.000-08:002008-12-31T17:22:00.000-08:00I've seen the 80's version with Nicholson and Jess...I've seen the 80's version with Nicholson and Jessica Lang, so I hadn't bothered watching that that one.Sea Salthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17729667460510653536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2363750719887401024.post-90600634921293964942008-12-31T14:38:00.000-08:002008-12-31T14:38:00.000-08:00What, you haven't listed The Postman Always Rings ...What, you haven't listed The Postman Always Rings Twice?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
