The new film has superior SFX but is otherwise completely inferior to the original. The original is a very tight entertaining film that happens to contain, arguably, the second finest performance of the last half of Jimmy Stewart's career. The finest being, IMHO, his turn in John Ford's classic "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance."

I really loved Stewart's performance in "The Cheyenne Social Club." It was a fine film, too, and well worth watching, but not of the same calibre of the aforementioned Stewart vehicles.
