This is probably an obscure reference but a good example: Frank Capra’s Broadway Bill (1934) was remade in 1950 by Capra himself under the title “Riding High”, utilizing at least four of the same performers in the same roles. Douglass Dumbrille plays “Eddie Morgan” in BB but the character is renamed “Eddie Howard” in RH. Raymond Walburn plays “Colonel Pettigrew” in BB but becomes “Professor Pettigrew” in the later picture. Clarence Muse plays “Whitey” in both films, and Margaret Hamilton plays “Edna” in both. (Clara Blandick plays Mrs. Peterson in BB and reappears in archival footage in RH). --Robert Keser Original Message: ----------------- From: Eduardo Abrantes [log in to unmask] Date: Thu, 27 Apr 2006 22:40:21 +0100 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: repetition in film Dear list, Thank you for all lightning fast suggestions so far! Concerning the last suggestion below let me just stress again that i am looking for the same actor playing the same character in the "same" film (original and remake), not the same actor playing the same character in different films. So i am not looking either for sustained identity, or historical progression (for instance a character ageing) but for repetition. Thank you all once more for your priceless help!
