Because of comments by posters here I watched the original last evening. I would have to say that each has its charms but the original is the better film, better in the sense that Mitchum is more terrifying, Peck is his usual self, giving a terrific perfomance as the common man gradually becoming unhinged as Mitchum continues to taunt him and his family. And the Herrman score is just perfect here. It's astonishing to realize how many great film scores he penned.
