We read the play in high school, but I didn't really like reading back then, so I didn't connect to the story.

Now I appreciate how well-written it was to create such great drama only using dialogue, and all in one room. And, as far as the movie went, there isn't one actor who wasn't perfectly cast.

Must have watched it over a dozen times in the last 40 years, but there was never a time when I didn't choke up at the end.

The original (1957) stood above the 1980s remake.

There's lots more detail here
en.wikipedia.org
including that Henry Fonda was a coproducer, with Reginald Rose.

The budget also indicates the inflation we've had since then.
