It may not be lady killing, but it's still criminal

In between messages of support for "the boys" (isn't anyone in the army over 18?) Tom Hanks made a surprising admission during his promotional tour of Cannes. Despite starring in the Coen brothers re-make of The Ladykillers and having great admiration for Alec Guiness he says he has never seen the Ealing original. Whilst his desire to avoid doing a poor imitation of the late Alec is commendable, take note Ewan Macgregor, there is a flaw. Since shooting on the film wrapped a while ago why has he not rented out a copy of the DVD since. Is the re-make so bad he's decided that the original can't be much cop, is his life just too busy or does he want to avoid seeing how terribly hammy his performance is in comparison. Answers on a sun-drenched postcard please.
