Predictably enough though, I'd still have the original over this any day, mostly because Kubrick's one tries to get more characters to drive the plot, whereas this one focuses entirely on the rather dodgy relationship at the centre of it all. Plus the remake lacks Peter Sellers, who basically stole the show in the original adaptation.
