Tough choice. Both are good for various reasons. I think the original is a much creepier movie. Robert Mitchum captured Caddy the best and I think Peck is a much better Sam Bowden.
The remake’s Caddy made me laugh. I don’t know if it was the way Caddy was written in the remake or if it was De Niro’s performance, but I was confused as to why every time Caddy showed up I was cracking up almost. I shouldn’t be laughing at him. I should be creeped out by him. Nick Nolte plays Sam like a grumpy old man and that annoyed me, but maybe that’s how Nolte actually is in real life. I did think it was funny to see Mitchum in the remake playing the complete opposite of who he was in the original.
Both work for me. So I’m not gonna vote on this one.
