Ripe for a remake: Crossfire

In honor of Robert Ryan's birthday, TCM aired Crossfire, which was his first major role (he was nominated for Best Supporting Actor Oscar).  The movie is based on the Richard Brooks novel The Brick Foxhole, which details a hate crime perpetrated by a soldier and later instigated by a police captain (played by Robert Young) working with a Army sergeant (played Robert Mitchum).  In the screen adaptation, the victim is changed to a Jewish former GI.  However, in the source material, the victim was a homosexual but due to the Hayes Code, this was changed. The convergence of ending the ban on gays in the military and the change the attitude towards homosexuals and gay marriage, to me means a remake of this movie that is a closer adaptation to the novel would be perfectly timed.
