Query: Insult to a Great Movie and Greater Novel

The 2005 Aussie-US remake of On the Beach is beyond bad. Out goes atomic war, in comes some kind of eco-catastrophe. I think the poor souls that like this train-wreck never saw the 1960 version with Gregory Peck and Ava Gardner - it was easily the best Cold War movie ever made and remains very powerful. (It ought to considering the cast which included Anthony Perkins and Fred Astaire in his finest dramatic film role.)Even the good version of the movie, however, does not capture the genius of Nevil Shute's great novel. The books is understated and elegant in the 1950's manner (that is good) and the characters beautifully developed. This makes the book believable and thus utterly terrifying. Anyway, give this turkey a pass and get a used copy of the 1960 flick and, better yet, a copy of the novel.
