Several of the consequent Thin Man movies were good, as well.

I Think "Manon of the Spring" is a continuation of the story, not a later concieved sequel.

    Most (not all) sequels are conceived after the original is successful in an attempt to make more money by further milking the concept. "Jean..." and "Manon..." come from a single source.

    It was conceived as an entity from scratch.
    Aka " Jean de Florette II ".
    In juxaposition to a film whose " following " remains incertain.
    
    PS: Would you consider the break in says, " Ben-Hure " while sitting in the theater two different films?

        Is it not what I said?
Seems I recall another older movie's very good remake - Road Warrior 21:22:15 10/06/05 (7)
Mutiny On The Bounty w/Marlon Brando as Fletcher Christian. Can't remember the first very well, that was the one with Charles Laugton(SP?) playing the bad captain I think. I do remember the native girls doing nasty dances for the men on the island. Funny what ya remember from yer childhood.

  I thought the third one, called simply "The Bounty" was the best.

  the original was good but I think Brando's was incredibly inventive and riveting. An English fop who is forced to grow up.
  Though this movie was slammed when it came out, I think it wears well. Damn good score, too.
  - IMHO, "Mutiny On The Bounty" remake ranked down with the "Sabrina" remake _ (nt) - Mart 07:19:24 10/07/05 (1)

    I agree Tinear!
    I think all three Mutiny's have something to offer. I thought Anthony Hopkin's Bligh in "The Bounty" was very human - not the "Caligula" reading Charles Laughton gave in the first. I also enjoyed how "The Bounty" captured the sexual energy of the island. Brando's always a fun watch though , isn't he ? ""
