Then how do you account for the 1949 remake? Hardly a gilded age or a market top. What social factors and prevailing attitudes do you think made the studio think that was the time to move on it. Maybe they thought they would have a box office success and maybe that is the prime factor in their equation?
On pace for close to 50 million on opening weekend. If that's a bomb, I should have gone into movie making.
