Join an evening screening of the 1962 classic drama Cape Fear (not the Scorsese remake!), starring big names Robert Mitchum, Gregory Peck and Polly Bergen. The thriller is a classic revenge tale with a twist: Lawyer Sam Bowden (Peck) is stalked and threatened by ex-con Max Cady (Mitchum), whom he helped to convict, putting his wife Peggy (Bergen) and 14-year-old daughter in danger. The film was controversial due to violent content when it was released, and some critics have dubbed it the “best non-horror horror movie.” Fun fact: the infamous “egg scene” was improvised on-set by the director, and the horrified reaction by Bergen’s character isn’t an act.
7:30pm, Friday, January 30. Valentine Theatre, 410 Adams St. 419-242-2787, valentinetheatre.com.
