After an eight-year prison term for rape and assault, Max Cady (Robert Mitchum) is set free. Immediately making a beeline to Sam Bowden (Gregory Peck), the former prosecutor responsible for Cady's conviction, Cady laconically informs Sam that he intends to pay back the attorney for his years behind bars.
In America, less than 10 percent of couples delay the exchanging of wedding vows longer than two years once the decision to tie the knot has been made. According to various sources, the average engagement last year spanned 13 to 16 months.
Best Answer: Planning doesn't usually take all that long. Engagements just last a while because venues book early, or couples may wait for a specific time to get married. When I got married, I had the majority of my wedding planned 4 months after I was engaged (and that's because I dragged my feet on the florist). But I had to wait 8 months after that because we wanted to get married in the summer. A typical engagement is 12 - 18 months.
