Just what the heck is Gregory Peck doing in a horror movie?! We dive in to 1962's CAPE FEAR, directed by J Lee Thompson, and starring Gregory Peck and Robert Mitchum. Plus, we learn about the bet that led to the creation of the original novel, THE EXECUTIONERS, from author John D MacDonald.

Please note this episode has a trigger warning for sexual assault and domestic violence, given the content of the book and movie.

The Defiant Ones premiered in New York City on 24 September 1958.

Written by blacklisted Nedrick Young (using the pseudonym Nathan E. Douglas) and Harold Jacob Smith, the part of Joker Jackson was originally offered to Robert Mitchum (who, at age 14, had served on an actual chain gang in Georgia after an arrest for vagrancy in 1931), who turned down the role, citing a major flaw in the film’s premise (a white prisoner and black prisoner would never be chained together in the segregated South, Mitchum argued).

Produced and directed by Stanley Kramer, the film was nominated for 8 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor (Tony Curtis and Sidney Poitier), Best Supporting Actor (Theodore Bikel), Best Supporting Actress (Cara Williams), and Best Editing (Frederic Knudtson).

The film received 2 Oscars, for Best Cinematography (Sam Leavitt), and Best Original Screenplay.
