John D. MacDonald’s brutally efficient novel The Executioners came out in 1957, and has been expanding ever since.
J. Lee Thompson adapted the book as Cape Fear in 1962, a disturbing if sanitized 106-minute film best remembered for its cast, led by Gregory Peck and Robert Mitchum, its primal score by Bernard Herrmann, and Martin Scorsese’s 1991 remake with Nick Nolte and Robert De Niro in those lead roles.
