A remake was done in the 70s with Marlo Thomas and Wayne Rogers. Marlo had the lead role.


I did not think that version was too bad. I actually saw it before the original. But, yeah, the original IAWL is easily one of the best movies ever made. There are lots of YouTube videos that show people’s reaction when seeing it for the first time. Spoiler alert: Nearly all of them cry like babies at the end.

Some things should never be touch and IAWL is one of them. I can only imagine what a vomit-inducing mess a Woke remake of IAWL will be. I am not surprised that a remake is forthcoming as Hollywood seems to be out of fresh ideas for everything.

I have watched a lot of those reactions on YouTube. Not ONE of the black viewers said, “Gee, I wish there were a remake with an all-black cast.” Instead, the black reviewers love the film and Jimmy Stewart’s performance.
