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?

After you read that review and then you read about how well it's going to do financially, it tells you a lot about our society. That junk sells! We have a Fed driven market at record highs and a pretty much across the board critical slam on this film as it cashes in close to $50 million opening weekend. Only in America kids.
