Descripción

small 8vo., 251pp. + 2pp. publisher's ads, some slight age toning as is common with all titles that were published in this series, original publisher's maroon cloth, upper cover and spine decorated and titled in gilt. A remarkably VG++ clean, tightly bound copy in a wonderfully VG+ bright original pictorial dustwrapper. Rio Rita is a 1929 American pre-Code RKO musical comedy starring Bebe Daniels and John Boles along with the comedy team of Wheeler & Woolsey. The film is based on the 1927 stage musical produced by Florenz Ziegfeld, which originally united Wheeler and Woolsey as a team and made them famous. The film was the biggest and most expensive RKO production of 1929 as well as the studio's biggest box office hit until King Kong (1933). Its finale was photographed in two-color Technicolor. Rio Rita was chosen as one of the 10 best films of 1929 by Film Daily. The Readers Library Series (1924 - 1935) was one of the more successful series of the 20th century. The British version of the series was notable for often lurid and tantalizing dust jackets wrapped around the book. Titles in the series range from old classics to contemporary fiction of the period. One distinguishing first for the British Readers Library was the publication of movie tie-in books, some with bound-in photographs from early movies. These movie themed Readers Library titles in jackets can command considerable money when the movie remains of interest to movie memorabilia collectors. N° de ref. del artículo 3858
