As noted by the OP, the earlier version is flawed. Tyrone Power, though a veteran of WW2, just can't convey Larry Darrell's search for meaning. Never been able to make it through the remake. I hold a grudge against Murray for defiling a fine book.
Larry: “I’ve come too late into a world too old. I should have been born in the Middle Ages when faith was a matter of course; then my way would have been clear to me and I’d have sought to enter the order.”
