I hadn't sen tis for a while and although I remembered the use of the original Bernard Herrman score I had completely forgotten Scorcese's use of both Robert Mitchum and Gregory Peck (stars of the original)in cameo roles. Further, Mitchum plays a good guy and Peck a bad guy, just the opposite from the origianl.There are many stars in this one: Nick Nolte, Jessica Lange, Juliette Lewis, Illeana Douglas, Joe Don Baker, and of course Robert Dinero as revengeful villian Max Cady. The rewrite is much more violent and the motivation for revenge deeper.
Great DTS sound on the DVD.
