was it better?
i'm guessing the book was better then the movie, though it was a grade a movie.

the original is usually on the top 10 list of 'greatest movies of all time'.

i dont know if its that good but it's really interesting, especially because it was banned for so long.

bit different story, same semi political theme. i gotta catch the new one.

I refuse to watch the remake of this film.

The original is one of the finest roles old blue eyes ever played.

You don't fuck with Sinatra.
