Viewing Notes

Unsettling and the very reason why I’ve held off watching for so long. Mitchum is menacing as Max Cady as he stalks a lawyer’s family as retribution for being put in the can for 8 years by the lawyer, portrayed fiercely by Gregory Peck. Edge of your seat material. Savalas shines in a bit role. Fulfills my blindspot goal but also may give me a nightmare. Really admire Mitchum for taking on roles such as this.
