the 1945 is MUCH better.
aside from the complete abomination of the plot line between wayne and emily, in this adaptation, jerry (aka "pat" in the '45) is made out to be a complete slimeball, with NO endearing qualities whatsoever.
much of the "love" in this version seems to be weak and unjustified...as if it were an afterthought of the people who were "updating" the script........ writer: 'oh yeah, they fall in love at the end.....hmm....well, i don't want to rewrite the whole thing, so.....*scribbles in disjointed love ending that doesn't seem to fit with the progression of the relationship*'
also, tom ewell is the most unconvincing pig farmer I've ever seen.
BLAH. its bad. watch the '45.
