Cape Fear (1991x11)

Data di messa in onda: Lug 21, 1991

Cape Fear is a film of some notoriety. When it came to Britain in 1962 the censor was aghast. He demanded six minutes of cuts before granting the film an ‘X’ certificate. The problem wasn’t with anything that happened on the screen so much as with the character played by Robert Mitchum, Max Cady. Cady is a sex offender who turns up in a small Florida town and proceeds to terrorize the local barrister (played by Gergory Peck), his wife (Polly Bergen), and their twelve-year-old daughter, who wears a push-up bra.
