Cape Fear

[gamble]

Somebody asked another poster on here if he was living in a well ?
That really struck a chord with me as I am a well dweller. I entered my new abode with a long rope. I found the well was inhabited. The pussy that lived there resented my presence. He was there first !
On Friday I had fish and chips – I left him a few….chips.
Eventually he accepted that he was living in a totalitarian regime and settled down to a few chips on a Friday. He could have had it a lot worse – he could have been living with Liam Gallagher.

I was just re-watching Cape Fear but the iPlayer played up so gave up. I rather enjoyed re-watching Robert Mitchum – the hard nut.
De Niro did a lot of working out to play Max Cady. That was the late 90’s. I don’t wear tattoos and haven’t spent 14 years in jail but De Niro some years later slept in a bed that had been sqeakin a week before. Gamble knew that Cady would be sleeping in that bed and that the the squeak would annoy Cady. On the instruction of a lady, gamble repaired the bed as best he could. As said I don’t wear tattoes !
Cady could have throttled me, but I was sleeping blissfully on a Silentnight two miles away – chuckling quietly. SQUEAK SQUEAK. Even Robert Wagner would have gotten annoyed !

I DID IT DELIBERATELY TO UPSET THE STATUS QUO ! DE NIRO WAS MY VICTIM BUT IT COULD HAVE BEEN ANYONE WHO HAD SOME FORM OF HEAVY FAME AND WAS IN THE PUBLIC EYE. SCORSESE WOULD HAVE APPROVED AND THE SQUEAKIN’ BED MIGHT HAVE BEEN A BETTER ENDING !

Bob revisted several years later. He plumped himself in the same old chair but with slightly less vigour than Cady had. Hee was still sharp as Groucho. Evidently my acting as a repair man had not deterred him – was I Prince Charming ? No, still a B lister, and way behind Depp & Heard. They somersaulted whereas I bent my knees.

*Edited some of the above – Cady even with a few years under his belt can still be a frightener, and I don’t want him joining the dots.
