Some of the remakes reflected different settings and, different titles, but the stories remained the same. Movies viewed include remakes of “State Fair,” ‘Bird of Paradise," “Folies Bergere” and “Thanks a Million.” Films like ‘State Fair,” ‘A Star Is Born," “The Three Musketeers’ and many more are recycled, and some repeated properties turn up under different titles.
