I hadn’t seen this, the original version of the story, but I assumed that the 2001 version was just a remake, and while the broad strokes are still there, there’s a lot to mention here. Spoilers for a 60 year old version:
The entire crew are military vets from World War 2 and previous did commando raids for Uncle Sam, never getting to keep the loot they were stealing from the Nazis. Not only is the team different, but the ending has a massive change, with them not getting any of money at the end due to some hilarious shenanigans with a dead body and cremation.
