I don't know why anyone would need Morgan Freeman's explanation in 2005 and not need Gene Barry's in 1953 (not sure of the original's release year).
I can't fathom the word "preposterous" applied to this film, but not to the 50s version.
Anyhow, I'm just going to keep repeating how much I loved it.
And I'll keep repeating how moronic this film is
