The Prisoner of Zenda (1937), Psycho (1960) and The Omen (1976), and the new versions made from the same scripts in 1952, 1998 and 2006, respectively, are given a detailed statistical analysis. This produces new evidence of stylistic differences between the originals and the form in which they were remade, and new conclusions are drawn from this. A new analytical technique for studying acting is also introduced.
