Add a CommentI've seen both, and the 90's version is the better. If you were born in the last 30-40 years, you'll probably enjoy the colored/remake one much better. This? Is falsely put as the newer one, it is in fact the 60's (which I already own), not the 90's one.:(
bstudent I agree! the old movies rock! :)
I'd only been familiar with the 1990 remake previously, completely unaware of this British '63 original. The film is low budget and VERY crude: camera-work; dubbed in audio (dialogue, singing, cheering, applause, etc); 'talent'. The kids were quite obviously mostly non-actors, having a blast just goofing around. Initially, they were somewhat wooden and stiff, but relaxed as the film progressed. But, despite the widespread amateurism, it deserves credit for being first. It translates William Golding's novel, however roughly, to the viewer. I guess they were a little low on cash. (lol)
drama-original black and white and very well done both filming and acting. the remake has nothing on this but color.
