"Paris When It Sizzles," written by George Axelrod and starring William Holden and Audrey Hepburn, did it in 1963,1964, and that was based on an even earlier French film.
(Ultimately, both "Animal House" and "M*A*S*H" appear to derive from one of Jack Lemmon's best and least revived vehicles, the delightful 1956 service comedy "Operation Mad Ball," which pitted fun-loving, ingenious enlisted men against a sneaky martinet officer played brilliantly by Ernie Kovacs.
The Last Witch Hunter (2015)
Directed by Breck Eisner
influenced by Bell, Book and Candle (1958)
Plot
It must be said that the New York witch bar scene was handled much more agreeably in “Bell Book and Candle” back in 1958, but in any event the ceremony is interrupted by an evil warlock with malevolent designs (Olafur Darri Olafsson).
In the Mood for Love (2000)
Directed by Wong Kar-Wai
influenced by The World of Suzie Wong (1960)
Visuals
As costumed by William Chang Suk-ping, she dresses in nothing but cheongsams, more than 20 in a wonderful variety of fabrics, giving the traditional high-necked sheath once popular in Shanghai more screen time than it's had since "The World of Suzie Wong."
Fifty Shades of Grey (2015)
Directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson
influenced by Strangers When We Meet (1960)
Themes
A movie version being inevitable, this Valentine’s Day gift to the world of schlock cinema, scripted by Kelly Marcel (Saving Mr. Banks) and directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson (Nowhere Boy), tries valiantly to elevate the Twilight fan fiction-inspired source material to a level of melodrama worthy of ‘60s stuff like A Summer Place or Strangers When We Meet.
