These modern versions still have diversions on the road to tempt and charm you, but none, sir, have the power the original had. It was antiquated, so it was redressed, it was modernized, it was polished to look like new and renamed repeatedly, but none of the modern versions have the charm of the original. Yes, it is not so much about goal, but the road to the goal, and what a road it was. But remember, sir, the type was perfected here. Yes, I dare say that by now, you know all these characters, the hard boiled cops, the grieving cheating widow, the philanderous partner you can anticipate all the crosses and double crosses you know who ends up clean and who ends up dead. Absolutely archetypical in the telling, in the characterizations and the execution. And, sir, let me say, what a story it is. The only thing that matters is the story. Show More comes from and where it goes is of no consequence.
