One must ask the question: WHY? Why remake this classic? Ratings? Was it ratings sweeps week? This dull and boring remake with its A-list stage and big screen stars suffers from the common afflictions of nearly all TV movies: obvious "on the cheap" production design and effects, including the Foley, and poor pacing with all the film that's cut to fit . . . the alloted air time . . . leaving in scenes and portions of scenes that should have been cut. Pacing is adjusted, not for effect, but to provide some form of suspense just before an obvious cut for commercial break, in hopes that fewer viewers will change the channel. The faults are not with the Redgraves, they're with the budget, production to exactly fit a TV time slot with commercial breaks at specific intervals, and lackluster direction. Don't bother with this "Made for TV" remake trash. Watch the 1962 original with Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, both of whom deserved Oscars for their performances, along with all its other Oscar nominations. Yet ANOTHER remake for TV that should NEVER have been made!
