The original is almost unknown according to a handful of current ratings on FilmBooster, while the very average American remake, which can only be credited for having an attractive devil seductress, is very well-known and quite popular. However, in my opinion, Donen's film surpasses the American one. Its advantages include typically British sarcastic humor, clever dialogues, and a witty script, which says quite a lot about the eternal conflict between the romantic ideal and the very down-to-earth reality. Overall impression: 75%.
