One of the nice things about "Old Hollywood" is when they had a cash cow to be milked to death, they just made another movie just like it with the same people that wasn't a sequel saddled with all the burdensome structural baggage and bringing the whole franchise down. Like Casablanca? Great, get Bogart, Rains,…
