I still like the 1959 version better. Maybe because watching this movie the first time made a big impression.

I guess using a nuclear war or other extinction level event themes intensifies some love stories.

Why do they take a great movie and put in new actors and do a remake.
I guess money is the motive.

1959 was a great movie. Gregory Peck was a bit of a heart throb for me, something about a guy in uniform.

Liked the 1959 movie and the book.

Have not seen the newer version, maybe I will try to find it.
