The original is brilliant. Note how Mitchum, with a minimum of

fuss, exudes menace. The scene of his with the woman in the hotel is as disturbing as any much more explicit, modern one.
Why Scorscese chose to remake this is a mystery. It is far inferior to the older one.
BTW, Savannah was the setting for the original; I lived in a house behind the park shown in the scenes where Mitchum followed the girl. The at-the-time mayor of Savannah played the bartender.
