I love the original, can't stand the remake even with Hurley looking beautifully devilish.
Another very obscure one, also with Peter Cook and Dudley Moore (although in lesser roles) is Richard Lester's "The Bed Sitting Room" from 1969. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0064074/
It co-starred Sir Ralph Richardson, Rita Tushingham, Spike Milligan, Michael Hordern, Arthur Lowe, Marty Feldman (in his first film role) and Dandy Nichols as Mrs. Ethel Shroake, Queen of England several years after a nuclear war devastated the country.
It's not available on Region 1 DVD, don't think it ever has been, and if it ever came out on VHS I haven't been able to find information about it. I burned it to DVD-R a few years ago when it was on Turner Classic Movies. I've mentioned it on various forums over the past ten years and I think only two other people knew what I was talking about.
