I Would LOVE To See a Remake.

This is a really forgotten film, it has disappeared off the radar and is never shown (though I understand it's only so-so). It's one of my favorite books of all time and I would love to see it remade, starring Scarlett Johansen and ...Johnny Depp? OK, they're Americans, need some English people - who would be good in this? Kate Winslet and.....?.... I understand it might be too expensive to make in these sad times and take valuable screen time away from nerds-scoring-hot- chicks. But it would make a great mini-series on HBO.

When the OP suggested a new version back in 2008 it might have worked. But today, in 2023, it would be spoiled by diversity casting and the need to insert an LGBT element. The best we can hope for now is a fully restored Blu Ray of the 1947 film.
