well and frankly this be virtually a carbon copy of the fantastic 1964 version . once again and be in monochrome and the script be almost word for word and with just minor change . for instance and when general bogan and the russian general be discuss their time in london ( the 1964 film ) and here the location have change to paris . i really can not see the reason why . have see the 1964 version and it be impossible not to compare the two a you be watch . the film try hard and but ultimately come up short through the inability of the actor to match the original screen presence . fonda and oherlihy and matthau and hagman have no peer in this version . the fact that it be film in real time be to be applaud and but it be ultimately unsatisfying . maybe if this be the only version you have see and you will be impress ( and apology for harp on about this ) and but this be one of those time where you can put two version of a film together and one will knock spot off the other .
