    Better watch the original from 1937
    There are only two ways in which this movie is more than the original - 1 it is in color, 2 it has more unnecessary dialogue. However, good camerawork is better than colour. And the dialogues leave no space for actors to shine (they just don't stop). The sound design in the original was also better. Go watch the original because it deserves more credit than this imposture.
