Price: $225.00
Hardcover. Second printing, published a month after the first. Neat owner name on the front fly, else fine in an attractive, very good dustwrapper with slight loss at the crown and some light age-toning and general wear. Sturges' second play and first big hit. After its success on Broadway Sturges went to Hollywood, starting as a dialogue writer, but moving on to full screenplays and eventually directing some of the best American films of the 1940s. *Strictly Dishonorable*, about a rakish opera singer and a naive girl, was filmed twice, first in 1931 with Paul Lukas, Sidney Fox and Lewis Stone, and then in 1951 with Ezio Pinza and Janet Leigh. Scarce in any sort of jacket.
