One of the Worst Remakes Ever
Again a true classic being trashed. In fact, it's not even that the remake is bad, it's just totally useless, the original being such a masterpiece.
If you've never seen either Collinwood or the original, Big Deal on Madonna Street, please don't see the remake, go for the original. It's funnier, more exotic (obviously) and with a remarkable casting (Marcello Mastroianni, Vittorio Gassman, Claudia Cardinale, Toto... the biggest names in Italian cinema!)
That is unless you cannot tolerate a movie in another language (Italian) and in black and white, which is weird, but I guess it is the sole purpose of this kind of remakes.
