Gregory Peck stars in this classic psychological thriller, adapted from John D. MacDonald's novel. Fresh out of prison, the sadistic Max Cady (Robert Mitchum) determines to have his revenge on Sam Bowden (Peck), the lawyer who put him away for rape. Cady is smart and sticks to menacing Bowden's wife Peggy (Polly Bergen) and teenage daughter Nancy (Lori Martin) with obscene phone calls and implied threats, but never does anything which would give the police the right to arrest him. It is therefore Bowden who, in order to protect his family, must go beyond the confines of the law and seek to engage Cady in a direct confrontation on the family's houseboat in Cape Fear.

Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 (Europe) or region Free DVD Player in order to play.  Gregory Peck and Robert Mitchum star in Hollywood's classic tale of revenge and murder. Robert Mitchum is unforgettable as Max Cady, an ex-con determined to exact a terrible revenge on Sam Bowden (Peck) and his family. Sam is a small-town lawyer whose worst nightmare comes true when the criminal he helped put away returns to stalk his beautiful young wife (Bergen) and teenage daughter (Martin). Despite help from the local police chief (Balsam) and a private detective (Savalas), Sam is legally powerless to keep Max from playing his sadistic game of cat and mouse. Finally, Sam must put his family's lives at stake in a deadly trap that leads to one of the most suspenseful and heart-pounding confrontations ever committed to film...
