Remake? Didn't know there was one. Thanks.

Just viewed the remake-(2000) with Dreyfus, and Brian Dennehy.

Good, but does not even approach the caliber of the original.

They left out the entire "Matador" dream sequence.

The movie is just not the same without the line, "The Matador, the Matador -------is me."

And the scene with Colonel Casio and his alcoholic parents, which I regard as important, because it explains the stress he was under before he reported for duty that day, leading to his breakdown.

That, and there was only one, very brief footage of the B-58.

I'll take the original, Thank You.

Thought bubble--(Hmmm, now where did I put that VCR?)
