This film has the most evil villainess in Hollywood history. The Wicked Witch gets more quotes, the Evil Queen has more mirrors, Cruella DeVille has more spots - but no villainess comes close to Angela Lansbury's Mommy-not-so-Dearest. The fact that Sinatra and Janet Leigh are practically footnotes to this film illustrates the power that the two central characters take over. And James Gregory as Senator Iselin does his turn as the poster-child for the Republicans. The remake is what it is - when we want to see the Real Thing, THIS is the version to watch. The new Criterion release's extras are even better.
