the original is an okay movie, not bad. Alec Guiness certainly classed up Star Wars. Peter Sellers was a unique talent that got wasted mostly except for his tour-de-force in Dr. Strangelove.
The Coen's The Ladykillers is a complete re-imagining really & it's a much better movie. Like the original, it does get weirdly dark towards the end. The dialogue is simply peerless & the performances, direction & music are fantastic.
