Good example: Cape Fear, with Peck as the head of a family menaced by all-time cunning sicko Robert Mitchum. At the climax, Peck trains a gun on the villain. Shoot 'im, Greg! But no. This time the good guy is not going to kill the bad guy; the rotter will be tried, convicted and imprisoned. A less confident actor might have let this verdict sound like weakness, but Peck sells the notion that life in jail is as unpleasant as a bullet...

When Greer married her second husband, Hughes reduced her film work for his studio. Greer starred as a femme fatale opposite Robert Mitchum in the 1947 film Out of the Past--and, nearly four decades later, in the remake, Against All Odds...
