Has anyone else seen the Truffaut version?
I have it on DVD and I think it is highly underappreciated.
It was a bit of a flop at the box office, but now is a cult classic.
Julie Christie is excellent in her dual role as two very different women.
Oskar Werner is very good in his role as Montag, if a bit stiff. But that's how he played the part, so it's very believable.
Now, the real question; to remake or not to remake?
The movie has its problems; stilted dialogue, no real special effects, and otber goofs.
But, it is also a gripping drama of a man whose curiosity and conscience are awakened by the seemingly innocent questions of a young neighbor, which leads him into the world of books. Books that up until then, he had been burning in hsppy ignorance.
