CLASSIC MOVIES: CAPE FEAR (1991)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brief Movie Synopsis [courtesy of The Internet Movie Database]:

A convicted rapist, released from prison after
serving a 14-year sentence, stalks the family
of the lawyer who originally defended him.
Two Oscar nominations:
Robert DeNiro for Best Actor and
Juliette Lewis for Best Supporting Actress.

(18-year-old Juliette Lewis is incredibly good in this
movie. I think it's one of the best performances by
any actress in any film I've ever seen. -- DVP)

REVIEWS:

"Cape Fear is impressive moviemaking, showing [Director
Martin] Scorsese as a master of a traditional Hollywood genre
who is able to mold it to his own themes and obsessions."

-- Roger Ebert; November 13, 1991
