Also, this version supposedly follows the book more closely than the Wayne version.
As a mega-fan of the book I think the original follows the book pretty closely. For me, the problem was always the performance of Kim Darby. Aside from that, it is a lighthearted western with plenty of good old-fashioned dialogue and great performances from the likes of Strother Martin, Jeff Corey and Robert Duvall. Wayne is fabulous as the sloppy, one-eyed Marshall.
This Coen thing looks about has lighthearted as Fargo. Where’s the jokes that were so important in the book and original movie?
