“After recently watching each remake of this film, one can easily appreciate what an incredible film the 1960 version is. It is the perfectly made film and should be held up to all as the pinnacle of film making. It has the perfect director and the perfect actors. It probably has the best behind-the-scenes crew ever assembled including the perfect film editor. The choice of black and white is also perfect. This is one of those few gems where every element of film making came together to make the perfect movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe story is very thought provoking from both points of view, the evolutionist and the fundamental Christian. While I am not even close to being a Christian of any kind, I am haunted by the speech given by Matthew Harrison Brady that says how our children will turn into a godless mob with no direction without the teachings of the Bible (paraphrasing). But, isnu0026#39;t that what has happened some 80+ years after the story takes place? The actors effortlessly sell each characteru0026#39;s point of view.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere is very little that can be said about Spencer Tracy, Frederick March and Gene Kelly that hasnu0026#39;t already been said. When you see the new version of this film, you can really understand why these actors are held in such high esteem. These guys are actors!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIn short, this is one of the finest films ever made and should be seen by everyone.”
