HILTON, James

Knight Without Armor

First edition. A tiny, faint spot on the front board else fine in a nice, very good or better dustwrapper, but for an old internal tape repair that has bled through near the crown. Inscribed by the author. A very uncommon title in the first edition. Basis for the 1937 film directed by Jacques Feyder, adapted by Frances Marion, and featuring Marlene Dietrich and Robert Donat. Dietrich herself claimed to have directed a few scenes of this rousing film of the Russian Revolution, to the delight of the film's producer, Alexander Korda, who on seeing the footage told his star, "You can direct here any time you want."
