The original (1962) Cape Fear with Robert Mitchum, Gregory Peck, and Polly Bergen. (This one came to mind because of the current hurricane news.)

I saw Cape Fear decades ago and still remember how scary it was. (I never watch scary movies now. I guess I was braver then.)

There was a remake in 1991 with Robert De Niro, Nick Nolte, and Jessica Lang. But I have not seen that one and have no intention of doing so. I am still scared from the first one.

It is described as a psychological thriller. I guess it was because I still remember it. Mitchum scared the heck out of me.

(Polar Bear, this could turn out to be a really interesting thread, but may I suggest you change the title from “Lady Killers” to something that indicates it is a thread to discuss old movies, in general — not just the one in the title.)
