My condolences.

I was very disappointed in the remake.  One thing I didn't include in the
comment for the 1951 movie was the scientific background of Sam Jaffe, who
played Professor Barhardt.

I paid to see the original so many times back then that I knew everyone's
part.  Now, I can see it whenever I like,  Bernard Herrmann's music was a
real treat and added much to the tone of the 1951 movie.  It is my favorite
B&W SciFi movie and my favorite in color is 2001: A Space Odyssey.

I would suggest that you watch it and give us any of your feedback on it
that you want to.  I have a couple of others I wrote, named Satisfaction
(1988) and the other was Sex, Lies, and Videotape (1989), if I can find the
latter.


Regards,
