Hollywood loves a remake, 14 September 1999
Author: JohnRaso from sydney, australia

This is pretty much a redo of little miss marker, it's better than the walter matthau version although it may not beat the shirley temple one ;) Movies always seem to look better in technicolour. A good excuse for Tony Curtis to take the crew to disneyland.
