    Mel Gibson to direct The Wild Bunch remake

    That's why I asked for clarification. IMO, the 1939 film is superior, but it's only 87 minutes long while the 1957 film is almost 20 minutes longer and more sentimental which is probably why almost every woman I've dated in the last 30 years or so absolutely loves the 1957 film.
