No pun intended of course - actually I'll go as far as to say I have not seen the original movie that starred Brigette Bardot. I know shame on me and believe me I will be watching it one day. What I know for sure: the original surely was not able to have as much nudity as this one had. I am curious to see how they will match with each other.
That all being said, the movie right here has a quite mesmerizing DeMornay in the lead role. Also I feel that LaPlagia is her ... well Partner in crime (again no pun intended). And while she has a different partner in the movie (also in crime), he does not shine as much. But I feel that works in favor of the movie. Him being more ... well bland and without too much sparkle or whatever you would call it. It leaves more room for DeMornay to take over the movie.
Since I can't compare her to the original, I can only attest and say that I liked what I saw here (well that too, but I mean acting and character wise of course). So I reckon depending on your own views and history and knowledge .. the movie may work or not ... but it is well made, flaws and all.
