In the original, the girl is innocent in a 1950s kinda way. In the remake, she is a self-centered wannabe trollop. In the original, I cared what happened to her and wanted her saved. In the remake, I cared what happened to her but did not want her saved. Tortured and burned at the stake come to mind.Finally, as others have pointed out, there was a quiet menace to Mitchum's bad guys that no one else seems to have, then or now.
