Hi, What probably happened is that he got tired of trying to develop remakes himself. I used to know the man who worked with him on these and other films who always told me about his frustrations in dealing with Mr. Lewis and the difficulty to develop these properties under the strict conditions that he put on him. Good luck to him - these are some great roles for actors to play. Irv

I loved this when I was a kid and will never forget how funny the airplane sequence was with the in-flight movie!
