The Remake of the "They Remade What?!" Blogathon has Arrived!!


Today is the day! The Remake of the "They Remade What?!" Blogathon has finally arrived!!


The Story Enthusiast kicks off the day with The Male Animal (1942) and She's Working Her Way Through College (1952).


The Midnite Drive-In takes things in a heavenly direction with Here Comes Mr. Jordan (1941) and Heaven Can Wait (1978).


Caftan Woman sees ladies everywhere in the two star-packed versions of When Ladies Meet (1933 & 1941).


Critica Retro issues a warning for watching both versions of Magnificent Obsession (1935 & 1954) back-to-back.

 
The Flapper Dame does some fast talking about The Front Page (1931) and His Girl Friday (1940).


Pale Writer tackles The Big Sleep (1946 & 1978) in The Big Remake Part I and The Big Remake Part II.


Realweegiemidget Reviews takes a look at when a classic film-star-riddled TV show is remade with TV...A Dynastic Disaster or Delight.?

The code clearly didn't apply to poster art lol
 
Top 10 Film Lists shows us how the code effected remakes with a look at Red Dust (1932) and Mogambo (1953).


Movies Meet Their Match takes on the challenge of comparing The Shop Around the Corner (1940) with it's subsequent remakes (plural!).


Back to Golden Days takes us back to the heavens and closes the blogathon with A Guy Names Joe (1943) and Always (1989).

A huge thank you to all who participated!! I hope to bring this blogathon back in a couple years. Now to read these!
