That reminds me of one of the titles I was trying to remember: THE DAWN PATROL Originally made in 1930 and then remade just eight years later. In contrast to my comments about THE FRONT PAGE/HIS GIRL FRIDAY, I'll take the 1930, Hawks-directed, Richard Barthelmess-starring release over the 1938, Goulding-directed, Errol Flynn-starring one.
