Beschreibung

1st ed., 8vo, yellow cloth in pictorial dust jacket. 247 [1] pp. Charles Brackett practiced law for several years before being hired as drama critic at The New Yorker, on the strength of his short stories for The Saturday Evening Post and his second novel, Week-End. He left New York to work as a Hollywood screenwriter, and had his greatest success in a long-running collaboration with Billy Wilder, including Ninotchka, The Lost Weekend and Sunset Blvd. Entirely Surrounded is a humorous novel about nineteen-thirties New Yorkers who holiday in Vermont. Many of the characters are stand-ins for a who's who of the Algonquin Club; Brackett was one of the members of that literary social circus and he dedicates the novel to Dorothy [Parker]. Brackett also became a film producer as well as president of the Screen Writers Guild (1938-1939) and president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences from 1949 through 1955. He won three Academy Awards (for writing the scripts for The Lost Weekend (1945), Sunset Boulevard (1950), and Titanic (1953) and received an Honorary Oscar for Lifetime Achievement in 1959. ##### Inscribed on the half-title to Frank Partos, a fellow screenwriter and frequent writing partner. Partos shared an Academy Award nomination for the 1948 film The Snake Pit and co-wrote the film noir classic The House on Telegraph Hill .

Anbieterinformationen

Books, Historical Documents, Autographs, and Ephemera -- Burns Bizarre specializes in the eclectic. We are a merger of two former booksellers 'Books on Main' [Ventura CA] and Armadillo & Dicker [Sacramento CA.] Most of our stock is rare or out-of-print - dating from the 18th century to the present. We do not sell reprint editions or book club editions unless they differ from the original in some way that makes them independently collectible. The name Burns' Bizarre comes from one of our father's enterprises in Chicago during the 1930's -- we are proud to continue his tradition of what is now eighty years of selling things people could easily live without.

Versandinformationen:

Shipping costs are based on an average weight, including packaging, of 2 LB, or 0.9 KG. We usually don't charge extra if you are above that, but If your book is very heavy or special handling is required we may add an extra shipping charge. This usually occurs only for books being shipped via priority mail or internationally; the extra cost for shipping can make the difference in whether we make a profit or take a loss on the sale. We will always contact you first to get your approval for the extra charge. Sometimes shipping doesn't cost as much as we estimate -- if it's a negligible amount we just let it be but if it is substantial, we usually refund the excess shipping. We do not insure our shipments*; if you would like your package insured let us know and we will quote you the extra cost for doing so.
