I don't mean to disrupt the Peter Jackson fan club gathering, but........:rolleyes:
Cape Fear (1962) would have been a much better Hitchcock vehicle, and would have elevated the film to classic status(and probably made it unnecessary for Scorsese to remake), rather than just a capable thriller. Thompson's direction was rather meh in spots, although the casting was perfect. Hitch had worked with Peck before, and would probably have only encountered minimal friction from headstrong Mitchum. Bergen might have had to go(not blonde enough). It would have been a nice follow-up to Psycho.
