Superb acting

This might have been Piper Laurie's best performance (IMO) and Cliff Robertson was also superb. While I liked Remick/ Lemmon in the 1962 movie, the acting / the greater sense of fragility / the greater sense of loneliness/ desire for connection seemed more present in this rendition.

I will have to watch the 1962 version again - but my recollection was Remick and Lemmon were more lost than lonely. I felt Remick was more remote and Lemmon (as he often appears) was more scattered. I preferred Robertson's more " loveable loser who is seeking a buddy" crafting.

Of course both versions are well worth watching.
