DREAM GIRL (Paramount Studios File Copy)

Rice, Elmer

Verlag: Coward, McCann (Paramount Studios), 1946

Rice, Elmer. DREAM GIRL. New York: Coward, McCann, (1946). First Edition. A Near Fine copy in a Near Fine, priced ($2.50) dust jacket. This copy bears the Paramount Pictures Story Department stamp in purple ink on the front free endpaper; presumably this is the copy used by the studio in the production of the 1948 Paramount film adaptation, a somewhat forgotten but entirely hilarious 1948 comic fantasy by director Mitchell Leisen. DREAM GIRL is the tale of a charming young woman whose efforts at running a bookstore are undermined by her drifting off into the most extravagant Walter Mitty-like comic daydreams. She is also in love with her childhood sweetheart, who happens to be married to her pregnant sister. Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Elmer Rice flexes his comic muscles with this work, in which our heroine can?t control her musing on what other paths she might have taken in her life. When we published Lakin & Marley's Catalog Seven in 1997, we offered 135 different first edition plays, Dream Girl was one of the few titles we weren't able to find. Until now. And this one is both a beauty and has a direct connection to the film adaptation. Sold with an original first run 1946 Broadway playbill. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 003437
