1539: I watched both of them. Stacey Keach starred in the longer remake in the 80s, then reprised that in the 90s.
The issue as I see it is it … it was all violence, no romance, no interesting storyline … maybe that’s one reason why the final series did not grab the public. It was late 50s shtick but by the 90s, there were all sorts of high budget, complicated screenplays and exotic locales around.
