Well they remade The Bishop's Wife (1947) starring David Niven & Loretta Young, as 'The Preacher's Wife' starring Denzel & Whitney(1996).

What a silly thing to say--many "white" films have been remade with black casts. Nothing weird or unusual about it. Both black and white Americans speak the same language (English) so it's not like you'd be remaking a foreign film or anything.

Okay,I misunderstood your post----I thought you meant white films being remade with a black cast like Death At A Funeral. Both versions were good,but some racist idiots claimed they couldn't stand the remake even though it pretty much sticks to the original. They just couldn stand the fact that it had been remade with a mostly black cast,that's all.
Screw those haters,lol. That being said, I like USN mainly due to the great cast in it. Incidently, the third film Poitier and Cosby
made together,A Piece of the Action,was remade into a Bollywood film called A Man's Job (1988).
