New York: Random House. Very Good+ in Good dj. (c.1949). 2nd printing. Hardcover. (price-clipped) [nice clean book, with moderate shelfwear to bottom edge and top of spine; jacket edgeworn, with some chipping along the top edge, 1-1/2" closed tear at top of front panel]. One might gather from this play -- "a savage indictment of Hollywood doings, authentic as well as venomous," in the words of critic Howard Barnes -- that Odets's time in the cinema capital, trying but only fitfully succeeding at being a screenwriter, might have left him just a teensy bit embittered. One would be correct. John Garfield (who would soon have his own reasons for being embittered by Hollywood) starred in the Broadway production in 1949, directed by Lee Strasberg; by the time the film version was made in 1955, Garfield was dead and the role went to Jack Palance, who gave a scenery-chewing performance under the direction of Robert Aldrich, never the most subtle of filmmakers. .
