It is rare that a remake is in the league of the original, and while I still identify most with Margaret Leighton's brilliant performance in the 1948 original, Rebecca Pidgeon was excellent as well. This one left out a few of the extra elements (such as the burlesque hall) of the original; nevertheless, this version has magic of its own -- well worth seeing. But the original is also available on rental; If you liked the new one, rent the original and compare!
