"I don't like to do remakes. Usually, for one reason or another you have to see the original film, and it always rather bugs you when you find yourself doing a certain scene, and you keep being reminded of what it was like in the first film."

(Robert Earl Wise, regista, montatore e produttore cinematografico; Winchester, 10 settembre 1914 – Los Angeles, 14 settembre 2005)
