Plot!
Small-town lawyer Sam Bowden's life becomes torturous when Max Cady re-enters his life. Cady went to jail for 8 years after Bowden testified that Cady attacked a young woman. Now that Cady has been released, he begins to terrorize Bowden and his family, particularly targeting Bowden's daughter, Nancy. Initially, Cady uses his newfound knowledge of the law (learned in prison) to annoy the Bowdens, then poisons the family dog.
Mitchum vs. Peck. Reverend Harry Powell vs. Atticus Finch. Looks like a great showdown :)

They used to play this on tv when I was a kid. Didn't matter that I knew how it turned out, it scared me every time. Somehow the fact that Mitchum was so sexy made it much, much creepier.

@khnk222 That's what I was thinking Robert De Niro play someone other than a mobster

@raybradburywriter Have you seen the remake its pretty good, I usaully don't like horror films that much but it was pretty awesome. Its really weird to see Robert De Niro as a rapist physcopath instead of a mobster.
