There is a possibility that the 1977 film has not dated as well as the one from this century so, if I was only going to rent one of them (or pick it up as a 'blind buy), I'd go with the more recent version of the story. |
I agree with all of this, I have a soft spot for the original because it's so 70's but the newer version is undoubtedly a better film.
