A teacher runs an ad in the newspaper to find a wife. Afraid of beautiful ladies, he weds an ugly woman. After a car accident, he meets a doctor who offers to reveal his wife's beauty.
In the movie industry, you have to cover your bases so as not to get sued. Barbra Streisand's remake has a few plot similarities, but it's definitely not a remake. It reminds me of a choose-your-own adventure book. The story begins and you come to a fork in the road. If you go this way, the story ends happily. But if you go that way, disaster!
I recommend watching them both.They each have their merits and will leave you thinking and comparing long after the final credits.
