i be from sweden and i have just see this movie and the thing be that i think it be okay . i have see many bad comment about it but you must remember that a lot of people that watch this two part miniseries be locate all over the world and not just in usa . also remember that not everyone have ever hear of the film make in the 60 represent and maybe not in the event ( murder ) . and even more . that it can be hard to find the original movie and if so there always be people around that doesn not like black or white film . this one feel fresh and in color and will find it public . it 12 year old now but i just saw it for the first time . i will try to find the first one if i can to compare them but i haven not see it anywhere in sweden . ofcorse there be internet but not for anyone in the world . the thing here be that this be mostly part of an american crime history and be big in the 50 60 represent in just usa but in rest of the world it just past by i guess . well it be tell about for some time but 40 year later it will fade away in for example europa cause time go by . we have our own problem and crime so if someone will do a remake of the film and put it back in some light again it not a bad idea at all . a new generation can take part of this horrible story and even the film about capote that be release just a few year ago witch be a pretty good film too i think . it will boost interest to the event that take place some 50 year ago and maybe stop it to fall in sleep . it start me up and now i be look for the robert blake version so it wasn not that bad . huh . this be my opinion . some people will of course disagree but hey . it okay . sometimes there will be okay with remake on old film . it not every time the old one be that good . the film make technique have develop a lot and scene can be make more realistic if they want today . it always a question of money of course . there have be so many movie that be make in the good old day but there be also money miss and bad director etc and and they remake them today ( 50 year later ) and suddenly they be okay to watch . my friend get this box of old classic horror movie and s or f and i cant say i be impress of the so call good old day . most of them you cold put in the trashcan directly . they be so bad that we just sit there like zombie . could not move . like brain dead . i cant recommend them to anyone . some of them i have see remake of and i remember like them . but not the original . they be just painful awful . this be like the old story of who be the best bond . moore or connery . i think if you see roger moore first you maybe find him the one to trust or like . thanks for me and i be sorry for my english and thats not so good . or lars from sweden .
