The Shop Around the Corner with Jimmy Stewart was the original movie in 1940. Just 9 years later in 1949, it was remade with the title In the Good Old Summertime. Judy Garland and Van Johnson starred. TV shows had not even become popular yet. I liked Shop Around the Corner but was disappointed in the remake. Van Johnson was a big star then but he has no charm or personality at all. And my mom agreed, she did not think he was good looking either. Judy Garland of course gave a great performance in The Wizard of Oz, and I also liked her in Meet Me in St. Louis. But I did not care for her role here, Margaret Sullavan was better in the original. We ended up turning In the Good Old Summertime off halfway through.

A lot of silent movies were remade as talkies. Most of the Our Gang (Little Rascals) that we watched on TV growing up were originally silent shorts with Mickey Daniels as the star.

They were remaking silent movies even before talkies, there were 3 versions of Seven Keys to Baldpate during the silent era (1916, 1917, 1925), the first talkie version was 1935, then remade in 1946 for TV, then another remake in 1947.

The 1939 Bob Hope comedy The Cat And The Canary was the 3rd remake, the first being from 1927.

Another is the 1941 Arthur Laskey comedy The Ghost Train, which is the 6th remake.

And speaking of The Wizard Of Oz, that is technically a remake, as there were a couple of silent versions.
