“The Sum of all Fears”, the way Clancy wrote it.

“The Third Man” set in contemporary Moscow

“The Longest Day” without the schmaltz, a production similar to “A Bridge Too Far”.

“It’s a Wonderful Life” if there’s anyone out there with Capra’s sensibility.

“Double Indemnity” the way James M. Cain wrote it, with a decent cast and director.

“A Place in the Sun”, more faithful to Dreiser’s novel.

Schmaltzy it was, but which one was the better movie, the one you'd want to see if you had to choose?

...amen to that...has anyone in any movie been more pathetic looking than Montgomery Clift in that dog of a film...?
