Release year: 1962
The players: Director: J. Lee Thompson, Writers: John D. McDonald, James R. Webb, Cast: Gregory Peck, Robert Mitchum, Polly Bergen, Lori Martin
The plot: After being released from prison, an ex-con terrorizes the family of the attorney who helped put him behind bars.
Modern thoughts on a classic movie: The original version of “Cape Fear” is a basic tale of good versus evil, pitting Gregory Peck and Robert Mitchum against one another in a battle of brains and nerves.
Peck plays attorney Sam Bowden, whose testimony sends Mitchum’s Max Cady to prison for eight years. In those eight years, Cady loses his family, and upon his release, he is determined to make Bowden suffer the same way. What ensues is a gripping story that shows how far one man will go for his revenge and what the other man will do to protect his loved ones from a madman.

A musical version of classic Audrey Hepburn movie Roman Holiday has been staged in London.
The 1953 film was Hepburn's first starring role and earned her a Best Actress Oscar for her performance alongside Gregory Peck.
And now the movie has become the latest legendary picture to be transformed into a West End show, with the story interspersed with the classic songs of Cole Porter.
Roman Holiday's London debut follows the musical version of Gone With The Wind, which opened there earlier this month.
