Du MAURIER, Daphne
Rebecca: A Play in Three Acts
Uncorrected proof. Printed wrappers. Light wear, a near fine copy, housed in a custom cloth clamshell box. The play, based on the author's own novel, was the basis for the David O. Selznick film, the first directed in America by Alfred Hitchcock, and which featured Laurence Olivier, Joan Fontaine, George Sanders, and Judith Anderson. Hitchcock was nominated for an Oscar and the film won the Academy Award for Best Picture (the statuette was enjoyed by Selznick -- Hitchcock was nominated six times but never won for Best Director). Haycraft-Queen Cornerstone. This play version is exceptionally uncommon, the proof, presumably near impossible.
