Such a gorgeous and memorable film.

One of the greatest films of all time. It's a cinematic crime that it was recently remade. If viewers had not seen this landmark version, watching the new, vastly inferior one will probably dissuade them from wanting to see the same story again. Those who decide to watch the Archer version afterwards will have had a plot spoiler.
