EWB 207 UNHOLY PASSION 004 CAPE FEAR

This week, Ralph and I give our reflections on the 1991 remake of Cape Fear. Directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Robert De Niro, the film demonstrated a shift in Scorsese’s career who was coming off of the success of the Mafia epic Goodfellas from the year before. The move features an all star cast including Jessica Lange, Nick Nolte, Juliette Lewis, Joe Don “Walking Tall” Baker, Robert Mitchum and Gregory Peck who were in the 1962 original. Scorsese’s version gave us the Southern boogie man, Max Cady, one of the most terrifying characters of the era.
