I saw the original shortly after its release. Despite the fictional subplot about an Irish spy it is a far better film.
Up to the moment that Martin is put in the sea the film is reasonably paced and interesting.. However after that a silly romantic subplot brings the film to almost a standstill. The last 20minutes could have been reduced to 5.
It is difficult to understand why the film was remade,and why so many fictional elements were introduced.
