Better than the remake?

I thought this was a wonderful job of Honor Blackman. I'm so pleased that she (instinctively) went against the directors idea and played it in the way she, as Mrs. Gale, would react.

Pity, that so many people have seen the Mrs. Peel remake so many times before seeing this original. I confess that I, too, have seen the remake several times....while only just now have viewed the original for the first time.

Both are wonderful. I'd say that Gale and Peel are tied. Or maybe...just maybe Honor Blackman's is just a touch more human?
