Assault On A Queen Remake

I DVR'd this odd Sinatra vehicle and watched it again for the first time in decades.  This weird little film, chock full of bizarre WWII nostalgia could make a great remake with some super-fun CGI boats and old submarines and shit; the flick is not so instantly recognizable that the plot and the surprises would be familiar to the entire potential audience.  Somebody with a good feel for the 1950's in the United States and history of the war could have a great time polishing the story to be faithful to the time and explicit enough to appeal to modern sensibilities.  Or cast Paul Giamatti in it and fuck it up beyond repair.
