This film is in good company with "A Star is Born" and "Mame" - in as much as the remakes do not improve on the original. I think we all know by now that the blood used in the shower scene in the original was really Hershey's chocolate syrup. And that is the difference between suspense and gore.I knew this was a cheesy remake as soon as I saw the stolen money. This was supposed to be $400,000, yet it only showed Ms. Crane with two stacks of 50 $100 bills ($10,000 last time I checked.) Perhaps her boss was committing insurance fraud by telling everyone it was the larger amount.If a film can be improved upon my remaking it, then I say go for it. If the only purpose is to provide an updated color version, then forget it. Who want to see a paint-by-number version of the Mona Lisa anyway?
