Bogart (Big Sleep) and Holden (The Wild Bunch) are very wealthy brothers, but personality wise they are opposites. Holden wants to have fun and Bogart wants to improve the family business. When the chauffeurs daughter (Hepburn from Breakfast at Tiffanys) returns from Paris looking very fetching she threatens the family future business plans. Bogart needs to keep her from his brother until the deal goes through - they end up falling in love even though she had always had a crush on Holden. It is classic Billy Wilder (Some Like it Hot). All in all, I say: SEE IT.
Only Pollack (The Firm) could remake this film.
It doesn't lose any of its charm with the remake. Ford (Raiders of the Lost Ark) is Bogart. Kinnear (As Good As it Gets) plays Holden's part. Ormond (Legends of the Fall) is Hepburns part. It was amazing. All in all, I say: SEE IT
