A forgotten classic.

The work of ingenious technicians who seem either not to know what gave the original film its magic, or not to care.

On its own merits, has some very fine cinematic flourishes... if we can but manage the herculean feat of separating it from the older movie.

Best to see them as individual films with nothing in common apart from source material, one a classic, the other a strong enough picaresque amongst some decent fabulation.
