    This Is Very Unusual
    There is no real reason for this movie to exist. The Henry Fonda original is a faultless classic and this movie is basically a scene for scene remake.

    BUT.

    What makes this redundant movie so unusual? Its brilliant!

    This is a fantastic telling of the story.

    I will always choose the original to watch but if this came on the tv I would be glued to it.

    Perhaps its just the strength of the story. A movie that is essentially 100% character driven and the characters are fascinating.

    Either version, you are in for a good time :)
