A Group of 5 Photographic 35mm Negatives (measure 1 1/4" x 1 1/2" [3 x 4 cm]) (Learn More)

Cape Fear, the classic 1962 J. Lee Thompson revenge crime film noir ("Now, he had only one weapon left - Murder! ...to prevent an even more shocking crime!"; "Their ordeal of terror triggers the screen's most savage war of nerves!"; "Unparalleled suspense... As one becomes a target for nightmare... The other becomes his target for execution!"; "A terrifying war of nerves unparalleled in suspense!!!"; about a lawyer who looked the other way while a deranged client was sent to jail, and now that client has been released and blames the lawyer for what happened to him) starring Gregory Peck, Robert Mitchum (as Max Cady), Polly Bergen, Lori Martin, Martin Balsam, Jack Kruschen, Telly Savalas (in his fourth credited movie role!), Barrie Chase, and Edward Platt. Note that the film was initially storyboarded by Alfred Hitchcock who was going to direct, but he quit over a dispute. Also note that when this movie was released in the U.S. to Spanish speaking audiences, it was re-titled "Terror".

Important Added Info: Note that these are negatives that were in the camera when the photographer shot the photos (see below for more on this). We have put a scan of each negative that shows the "positive image" (one of the all 12 together, and one individual image, in addition to a scan of each negative image). REMEMBER THAT WHAT YOU RECEIVE WILL BE PHOTOGRAPHIC NEGATIVES, NOT POSITIVE IMAGES LIKE YOU ARE SEEING. However, we will provide the winning bidder of this auction the positive image scans that are both high quality and not watermarked (on request to the winning bidder, and only the winning bidder). We scanned them, so that bidders could see just how high quality they are. What are camera original negatives? These often (but not always) have retouching on the emulsion side, and negative numbers written in India ink on the front. Depending on the studio some 8x10 negatives may be trimmed or have numbers or information embedded into the sides of the negative. Obviously, camera original negatives are far more rare (and far more desirable) than studio-issued ones, but both are very high quality.

Condition: good to very good. Each has some dust, light scratches and other minor flaws that could easily be cleaned before printing or retouched after scanning. See our positive image for how great they look!
