New York: Random House, (1936).
Price: $85.00
Hardcover. First edition. Fine in about very good dustwrapper with some tears and chipping, mostly along the top of the front panel and on the spine ends. Classic comedy, many think the main characters were based on Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur, as a successful pair of screenwriters whose every work is a variation of the "boy meets girl" plot. We have however, been informed that the main characters were based on the prolific screenwriters Grover Jones and William Slavens McNutt, Jones in particular was a one-man screenplay factory. Basis for the 1938 Lloyd Bacon-directed film featuring James Cagney and Pat O'Brien, and which also numbered Ralph Bellamy and Ronald Reagan among the cast.
