    The original was so good that I decided to become a lawyer when I first watched it at age 7. I ended up practising criminal defence law from my residence! Just like Sir Wilfred. What an influence Charles Laughton had on me. Still a great story BUT please watch the original. Definitely my favourite movie ever!

    The original was much sharper but its wonderful to see Sir Ralph Richardson, Wendy Hiller, Deborah Kerr and the enigmatic Diana Rig. So sad to hear of her passing this week. This is a top notch example of her work. RIP to all the great actors of the theatre and silver screen that have sadly passed. Thankfully we can still enjoy their endeavors as they all live on in their work.

      ​@@tonypegler3618 Hi Tony, It's difficult, both productions are very good. The early one is in black and white. Marlena Dietrich is excellent and adds mystery, drama, and a first-class thrill factor. The later production had a lot to live up to but has a first-rate cast. If I was pushed for an answer I would choose the 1982 production. Agatha Christie deserves a mention as it is a fabulous bit of writing. Both worth a watch.

      The script was identical in both films, but the Laughton film was new: we saw the play unfold with new eyes. This remake plays the action again and so may seem not quite as fresh. But thanks to Agatha Christie’s story and superb acting by Richardson et al, the movie is really as fresh as the original. A wonderful film!

    The casting was perfect with Ralph Richardson playing Laughtons role, Diana Rigg made a great Marlene Dietrich and surprisingly Beau Bridges accomplished his Innocent act as effectively as Tyrone Power. The addition of Donald Pleasence as the prosecutor and Wendy Hiller as the maid was the icing on the cake. I know there's a brand new one out but I can't bring myself to watch it. What a great remake and I didn't think it would ever be done to equal the first. Thanks for sharing. I would suggest to anyone who'd like this movie to see the original.
