Sam Bowden (Peck) is a small-town lawyer whose worst nightmare comes true when the criminal (Mitchum) he helped put away returns to stalk his beautiful young wife (Polly Bergen) and teenage daughter (Lori Martin). Despite help from the local police chief (Martin Balsam) and a private detective (Telly Savalas), Sam is legally powerless to keep Max from playing his sadistic game of cat and mouse. Finally, Sam must put his family's lives at stake in a deadly trap that leads to one of the most suspenseful and heart-pounding confrontations ever committed to film.Bonus Content:The Making of Cape FearTrailerProduction PhotographsMy Scenes Review: Very suspenseful well acted movie - This is a great B & W movie. It runs through a gamut of morality issues. How much will a man go through to protect his family. How much evil can vengeance can one human being harbor in them. Gregory Peck and Robert Mitchum are great in their lead roles Review: CAPE FEAR EVEN MORE FRIGHTENING ON BLU RAY - Although it missed it's 50th Anniversary by a few weeks, Universal still deserves a lot of credit for this absolutely stunning blu ray(black & white) of a most frightening film and I'm not talking about their classic monsters. The "monster" in this case is the menacing, sadistic and revenge seeking character called Max Cady brilliantly played by Robert Mitchum in one of his greatest roles. Stalking was not as well known in 1962 as it is today so this film is certainly ahead of it's time in that regard. Mitchum's Cady not only violates women mentally but physically as well. And his revenge stalking of the lawyer(played by Gregory Peck) and well as his wife(Polly Bergen) and young daughter(Lori Martin) not only cause them all mental anguish but place them in physical danger as well. It's a story that could be pulled today's headlines. Robert Mitchum was a very underrated actor who was usually cast in good guy roles. But when he played a bad guy like the phony preacher in "Night of the Hunter" or the psychopath he plays in this film, he could send chills down your spine. According to the excellent special feature that accompanies this blu ray, director J. Lee Thompson says that Mitchum told him to stay out of his way and he did. The result was one of most evil characters ever put on film. Watching this film again after so many years I'm still amazed how Mitchum creates such menace with just the way he swaggers into a scene. And that's nothing compared to his facial expressions. Spoiler alert: what he does to Polly Bergen with the broken eggs is enough to make you throw up. It's Mitchum's show all the way. As for Peck, the lawyer he plays in this one was overshadowed by his career making lawyer Atticus Finch in "To Kill a Mockingbird" also from 1962 but he is very believable and gets great support from not only Bergen and Lori Martin, but Martin Balsam and Telly Savalas(with hair!) too. The director, J.Lee Thompson, said he wanted to make "Cape Fear" as a homage to Alfred Hitchcock and it certainly lives up to that. Once Bernard Herrman's music starts anyone viewing this picture will not be disappointed. This blu ray presentation of "Cape Fear" is stunning to look at and was probably taken from the original negative(Bitrate: 29.21). It's pristine picture is a wonder to behold and if you've owned either the VHS or regular DVD of the film you will not be disappointed if you upgrade to blu ray. Blacks, whites, grays are very sharp and there are no defects(dirt,hair,specks,lines,torn frames,etc.) in the blu ray transfer. "Cape Fear"(aspec ratio: 1.85.1) is 105 minutes and contains only the following subtitles: English SDH and Spanish. Audio features are: English DTS-HD Master Audio Mono and French DTS Mono only. Special features include "The Making of Cape Fear" and the Theatrical Trailer. If you want to see suspense at it's best then I highly recommend Universal's stunning new blu ray of "Cape Fear". Just don't watch it alone at night. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B009NQX47I | | Actors | Gregory Peck, Martin Balsam, Polly Bergen, Robert Mitchum, Telly Savalas | | Aspect Ratio | 1.85:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #4,876 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #607 in Drama Blu-ray Discs | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,580) | | Dubbed: | French | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 025192169670 | | Language | English (DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0) | | MPAA rating | NR (Not Rated) | | Media Format | Blu-ray, DTS Surround Sound, Dubbed, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Subtitled, Widescreen | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 0.7 x 7.5 x 5.4 inches; 2.08 ounces | | Release date | July 4, 2017 | | Run time | 1 hour and 46 minutes | | Studio | Universal Pictures Home Entertainment | | Subtitles: | Spanish | ## Product Details - **Contributor:** Gregory Peck, Martin Balsam, Polly Bergen, Robert Mitchum, Telly Savalas - **Format:** Blu-ray, DTS Surround Sound, Dubbed, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Subtitled, Widescreen - **Genre:** Drama, Mystery & Suspense, Mystery & Suspense/Thrillers - **Initial release date:** 2017-07-04 - **Language:** English ## Images ![Cape Fear (1962) [Blu-ray] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81exablJldL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very suspenseful well acted movie *by B***T on January 31, 2026* This is a great B & W movie.

And yet, as the movie progresses, we the viewers clearly understand the intentions of Max Cady. Cady's motto is that he always makes his crime look consensual or count on the victims to be too embarrassed to testify due to the required personal and graphic evidence. This is really a brilliant movie where we are let into the mind of a criminal but we aren't given privy to why he had the urges, prior to the conviction. We understand the revenge motivation against his ex-wife and the person who testified against him, but still unclear on what molded him to do these acts in the first place. The most that is shown in terms of violence is Cady cracking raw eggs on Sam Bowden's wife and slapping her around. Bowden, being a respected attorney, had greater influence on the jury, leading to his conviction, is what Cady believes and that is the reason for seeking revenge. His revenge seems to be to force Bowden into committing a crime so Sam Bowden can end up in prison, although Cady thought he had suffocated/drowned Bowden. Aside from that part which is inconsistent from Cady's intentions and how he could have missed hitting Bowden at the very end, it is a movie about very touchy subject that is directed with class, and a bunch of awesome suspense. Robert Mitchum is a great actors who can play despicable villains and still be a leading actor. ## Frequently Bought Together - Cape Fear (1962) [Blu-ray] - Cape Fear [Blu-ray] --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/18124282-cape-fear-1962-blu-ray](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/18124282-cape-fear-1962-blu-ray) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
