Making of Cape Fear


J. Lee Thompson (Cape Fear director) and Gregory Peck (Cape Fear producer & a star) separately talk about making a thriller "Cape Fear" of the novel The Executioners. Robert Mitchum, Martin Balsam, Telly Savalas, Hayley Mills, Laurie Martin, Barrie Chase, Lee, Greg, James Webb, Alfred Hitchcock, Bob Boyle, Bernard Herrmann, George Tomasini, Sy Bartlett, Jeffrey Sherlock, and Martin Scorsese are discussed. Bob Mitchum lives his parts. Hows & whos & where. Explosiveness, drinking. Anecdotes. Party. Editing. Censorship. Created for the DVD in 2001 by Universal Studios Home Video. I like that they include, let alone create, these things on DVDs but it is jarring when such an unimaginative work is stuck next to such a nifty original piece. (Reviewed over at the other video with that same name, even though that is not this 27' video about the older film.) As IMDb does not have a page on this video, I shall include a mention of it here.
