Remake of Film

[trish1234567]

I watched recently (Channel 5 I think) a thriller entitled A KISS BEFORE DYING starring Matt Dillon. I have seen it before but I watched it a second time because I remembered it was a realy good film. Did anyone else view this because I'm absolutely sure it was a remake of an earlier film. Can anyone confirm name of original film and who starred in it. This is driving me crazy! Thanks.

The original film had the same title and was made in 1956.
It stared Robert Wagner.

Thanks - that's the one Cameo. I couldn't remember who the leading man was and I was so sure it must have been someone like Joseph Cotton. I couldn't imagine it being Robert Wagner as he usually plays the good guy! Hope they show the original version one day. Thanks a lot - I'll sleep better now.
