The 1982 flick is not only far superior, but it is far more accurate to the original story. The 1952 version is almost a totally different story.
according to you...so what?.
but it is far more accurate to the original story
means nothing....
for instance....2 Jack Nicholson Movies are (far) better than the books they came from....’One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest’ and ‘the Shining’
both authors near had a coronary with what was done with their 'masterpieces' but the movie going public and the critics for once agreed...2 of the best movies ever.
