KISS THE BLOOD OFF MY HANDS (Film Tie-In Edition)

Descripción

Butler, Gerald. KISS THE BLOOD OFF MY HANDS. London: Jarrolds Publishers, [1940 but 1948]. First Film Edition (with mentions of Burt Lancaster, Robert Newton, and Joan Fontaine's participation in the Hollywood movie adaptation.) Fine in a Near Fine priced (4/6) original dust jacket which is only lightly used with a bit of soil to the fragile white rear panel. KISS THE BLOOD OFF MY HANDS was written in 1940, the first American version didn't appear until 1946, and this film edition wasn't published until 269,000 copies had sold, making it one of the most successful hard-boiled Noir novels ever produced by an English novelist. Butler was part of the "tough" school of English detective writers which owed much to American inspiration. In the book and the film, Burt Lancaster's character is "a veritable monster of a man, smashing his way, ruthless and menacing through the pages." By far, the sharpest copy of this scarce book we've encountered. N° de ref. del artículo 003484
