![]() ![]() ![]() Peters smiles a lot but he doesn't do or "say" anything particularly amusing. However, it's the pretty but rather lackluster Miss DuPont who supplies what little wit the screenplay possesses. Fortunately, the personable Peters does an excellent job as Raffles. Minor but important alterations include the diminution of Raffles into a conventional do-gooder with far less emphasis upon the thrill-seeker and the consequent watering down of just about all the play's well-known incidents. Mind you, he's well played by Freeman Wood, but this is not the Bunny of the book or the other versions. ![]() The main change (which would have outraged E.W Hornung had he lived to see it) is the complete transformation in the character of Bunny. Although credited to Harvey Thew, the plot follows close on the heels of the 1917 version with one major and a number of minor exceptions. ![]()
