I much prefer the remake to the original.
I think Bing Crosby, Robert Cummings, Red Buttons, Van Heflin, Stephanie Powers - and especially Alex Cord- all are superior to the originals. The only ones who aren't are Michael Conners (who is doing John Carradine's role) and Ann-Margret (doing Clair Trevor's role). Keenan Wynn as the villain, Plummer, is about equal to Tom Tyler.
Almost everyone I've told this to disagrees with me - lots of John Wayne fans, ay - but I see it the way I see it.
