Better than I remembered. I saw the original TV Play back in the olden days. Then this version in the 50's. The acting along with the story were both excellent. When you look at these fine actors, you see people who actually worked and learned their trade and craft over many years. Things seem to be a lot different today and it shows in the quality, of the majority of actors and films we have come to accept. Just put out a film and the people will buy a ticket, no matter whether good or not. They still make money with videos and the foreign market. Glad to have seen this again on the cable movie channel. Hope we get more .
