"Cape Fear" (1991) Film Screening

Martin Scorsese scored one of his biggest commercial hits with his first-ever remake. Cape Fear was not a film the director was initially attracted to making, but he agreed to do it as a favor to his friend and longtime leading man, Robert De Niro. It’s easy to see why De Niro was so attracted to this project. It gives the great actor a chance to play a purely evil character and find both truth and humanity in him. De Niro was the perfect age and in ideal physical condition to play Max Cady, a more overtly aggressive version of the character originated by Robert Mitchum.

Screening with Cape Fear (1962) as part of the Somerville Theatre's Great Remakes series.
