And, additionally, Renoir's LA BETE HUMAINE and Lang's HUMAN DESIRE (1954). --Jeremy Butler ----------------------------Original message---------------------------- >I am researching the following topic: Hollywood remakes of >original non-American films (for instance _The Return of Martin >Guerre/Sommersby_, _The Vanishing/The Vanishing_). > Two films originally done by Jean Renoir come to mind, although I don't have any insights on sources that compare the two, though I have done quite a bit of work on that myself in teaching these films. One is _Boudu sauve des eaux_ (Boudu Saved from Drowning), 1932, which was remade as Down and Out in Beverly Hills (remember that one?). The other is called _La chienne_ (The Bitch) remade in 1945 by Fritz Lang under the title _Scarlet Street_. It is possible (though I'm not at all certain) that Jean-Louis Leutrat has done a comparative study in his book on _La chienne_, but my guess is it isn't available in English.
