I can't quite describe my reaction to this film. I had read about it and knew that its villain, Max Cady, is legendary in the film canon. But nothing can really prepare you for the disturbing qualities Robert Mitchem brought to every evil character he played. Maybe it's the non-nonchalant, meandering walk. Maybe his slow drawling voice. How can a straw hat and cigar become creepy?
This story is not just thrilling, though. It is an interesting tale of ethics and manipulation. Are the rules we put in place worth upholding? Or should they bend? And for whom should they bend?
