Cape Fear,<\/em> based on a 1957 novel by John D. MacDonald, already has inspired two intense films about a man who, recently released from prison, goes on to terrorize his former attorney. Now there’s a new 10-part miniseries from Apple TV, which premieres its first two episodes June 5.<\/p>\n

The first Cape Fear<\/em> movie was in 1962, starring Robert Mitchum as ex-convict Max Cady, and Gregory Peck as attorney Sam Bowden. Peck’s Bowden was heroic and strong, but Mitchum’s ex-con was a playful, vengeful force of nature. One of the most powerful scenes in that movie was when Cady cornered Bowden’s wife, played by Polly Bergen, in a kitchen, grabbed and crushed a raw egg, then smeared it across her exposed shoulders as she shuddered with fear.<\/p>\n
