I think one reason for no remake might be that usually a (US style) remake takes something fun & makes it darker (riverdale) or takes something a bit dark & makes it way darker ( Fargo) or takes something weird & makes it unwatchable & uncanny ( Cats). I loved Pennies From Heaven, but I think it is about as weird & dark as it ever needs to be :)

A terrific essay, about a movie that had me spellbound when it came out. Thank you; looking forward to more.
