Those 50’s theaters had some really good plays, so they are worth watching the updated versions…
Sounds like the West End of London!
Just saw “It’s Only a Play” and the premise is that there are no new plays on Broadway, it’s all revivals, West End transfers, and Disney musicals.
Somehow I doubt if the best-ever performances of the plays of Shakespeare (or Aristophanes!) were performed in their lifetimes. That being said, very few film remakes top the originals films and many are outright embarrassments.
The color remake of Quo Vadis was great,but the remake of the Blob stunk.
:-) Opinions = belly buttons. I thought Arny’s performance was true to the books. At least that movie followed the original story. Enjoy the Day…
Missed REBOOT.
Thank God she didn’t say “reboot.”
