REMAKE SCORES, PART SIX:

By Scott Bettencourt

In this latest installment of the Remake Scores series, we cover groups of films that are not technically remakes, but which instead feature the same historical incident or person(s), including cameos and fictionalizations (like Rope).

Parts One, Two, Three, Four and Five of this series are accessible on the website. Titles in quotation marks denote television programs. Corrections, suggestions and additions are always welcome. And in case you've never noticed, everyone who has ever lived has had his-or-her life scored by Laurence Rosenthal.
