This great classic movie has been an inspiration to many film makers both good and bad. It actually has been remade many times under different names. Besides the above it was remade as "Lethal Woman" a B movie about an Army woman who was raped by a general who goes mad after wards and buys an island. There with the help of other rape victims she lures rapists to the island and hunts them down. It was also redone on the old Inredible Hulk show in which David Banner is lured onto the island by a mad man who doesn't know of course that he is the hulk. You're right, though, it would be cool to see the origional remade as itself.

I would like to see this movie remade. But I like it to be exactly as the short story is, not any different. I really dont like it when they chage the stories because the writer had a reason to write the story as it is!

maybe not as a feature. Connell's story is 8000 words, a short written for a pulp magazine. Any screen feature would have to expand on it to some degree, flesh out the characters, add dialog, etc.
That a screen adaptation is not sufficiently like the original material is a very common complaint, but it really reveals a lack of understanding of what has to go into screenwriting. We have to be content with an
adaptation
which will never be the same as the original, but the best adaptations capture the flavor of the original in a new medium. -

My thoughts exactly! There was a 1932 version, but I never saw it! But Hey! if you ever find out of someone who wants to re-make this movie- or already has plans to do so, from the short story that bears the same name please tell me! (Goodness- let me know! GRIN I'd love to start a discussion about it and definitely offer any help I can with making it!)
Just a thought.
God bless!

I just saw this parodied on Codename: Kid's Next Door .. and I think it was also done on Dial M For Monkery (Dexter's Lab anyone?) .. what? Cartoons pwn.
Anyhow, I have a feeling that at the rate remakes are going nowadays, it'd take a really talented director to pull off a good remake. I'd say Peter Jackson, maybe, but something feels off about saying that ..
