Descripción

Wonderful association copy of this horror/mystery novel originally published in French,Les mains d'Orlac,in 1920, and here translated into English by Florence Crewe-Jones. In 1935, MGM released the filmMad Love,based on the Crewe-Jones translation, the original drafts of the screenplay written by director Karl Freund and Guy Endore, author ofThe Werewolf of Paris.Though not a box office hit, the film is considered today by critics to be one of the more influential horror movies of the 1930's. The book itself is scarce in jacket and this copy is quite interesting for its association with MGM studios. Barron, Fantasy and Horror 4-125. Hubin pg 342.
