Isn't to each his own a remake of the old maid written by Edith wharton?

Answer 1

NO: The Old Maid's screenplay was written by Casey Robinson, play by Zoe Akins, and novella by Edith Wharton. To Each His Own was first traced to the screenplay written by Charles Brackett and Jacques Thery. The Old Maid with Bette Davis was made in 1939 and To Each His Own with Davis's good friend Olivia de Havilland. They are very similar story lines with the mothers not being able to take care of their children with a selfish woman in the way, them having both loved the same man, but... they are NOT the same.

Answer 2

No, "To Each His Own" is not a remake of Edith Wharton's "The Old Maid." "To Each His Own" is a 1946 film starring Olivia de Havilland, while "The Old Maid" is a novella by Edith Wharton published in 1924. They are separate works with different plots and characters.
