As cinema enters its second century, more remakes are appearing than ever before, and these writers consider the full range: Hollywood films that have been recycled by Hollywood, such as \u003ci\u003eThe Jazz Singer, Cape Fear\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eRobin Hood\u003c\/i\u003e; foreign films including \u003ci\u003eBreathless\u003c\/i\u003e; and \u003ci\u003eThree Men and a Baby\u003c\/i\u003e, which Hollywood has reworked for American audiences; and foreign films based on American works, among them Yugoslav director Emir Kusturica's \u003ci\u003eTime of the Gypsies\u003c\/i\u003e, which is a \"makeover\" of Coppola's \u003ci\u003eGodfather\u003c\/i\u003e films. As these essays demonstrate, films are remade by other films (Alfred Hitchcock went so far as to remake his own \u003ci\u003eThe Man Who Knew Too Much\u003c\/i\u003e) and by other media as well. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The editors and contributors draw upon narrative, film, and cultural theories, and consider gender, genre, and psychological issues, presenting the \"remake\" as a special artistic form of repetition with a difference and as a commercial product aimed at profits in the marketplace. The remake flourishes at the crossroads of the old and the new, the known and the unknown. \u003ci\u003ePlay It Again, Sam\u003c\/i\u003e takes the reader on an eye-opening tour of this hitherto unexplored territory. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact.
