Not a bad remake with Harrison Ford, Julia Ormond and Greg Kinnear in the lead roles, adapted by Barbara Benedek and David Rayfiel. Unfortunately it's not so different that you can't help comparing it to the original the whole way through, with predictable results. The supporting characters are particularly lacking in comparison: played by Nancy Marchand, John Wood, Richard Crenna, Angie Dickinson and Dana Ivey. (Look out for a young Paul Giamatti in the kitchen.) Even Giuseppe Rotunno's photography is a notch below the richness of say
Regarding Henry.
Edited by Frederic Steinkemp (since 1960, many Pollacks, and Wilder's
Fedora), using a lot of dissolves, with a nice John Williams score.
Good lines not from the original:
"More isn't necessarily better. Sometimes it's just more."
"Paris is always a good idea."
