I saw the original in a theater in the 1950's and the American version when it came out. I think the US version was doomed from the very beginning when Tom Hanks first appeared dressed like a thinner Colonel Sanders. From the very first you knew it was going to be a comedy and it was, but not very funny. The British played it more like a serious mystery, which it was for the most part.

Just looking at the Major, you can tell he's not above fleecing his nieces and nephews for their pocket money, or that One-Round's probably spent the last few years working in protection rackets. And as for Guinness... God, he scared me as a child! He's what Death would look like if he caught the 8.15 from Paddington every morning.

@@agenttheater5 He comes across as quite a romantic soul, doesn't he? It's like the scene where 'Professor' Marcus tries to convince Mrs Wilberforce the robbery was carried out for compassionate reasons, and asks the Major to tell her about his elderly mother. He's hesitant at first, thinking on his feet, but when he gets going it's as though he genuinely believes this ridiculous yarn that he's spinning and feels it very deeply. I think he probably is touched by Mrs Wilberforce's story about her birthday, but he's also the sort of person who can reconcile blatant self-interest with sentimentality. Must say, he's probably my favourite character in the film - which is a tough choice given how wonderful the competition is!

I find it very sad that even a 57 year old film can't be made available on You Tube, probably down to an agreement with Ealing Studios for copyright. The old Ealing Comedies were really funny. Kind Hearts & Coronets, Passport to Pimlico and the others - no bad language, no violence, just good clean comedy. Something which is sadly lacking in modern films.
