1968143609Garden City NY: Doubleday 1968. First Edition. First Edition. Copy belonging to director Joseph Losey with his name and home address written in holograph ink on the first leaf: "Joseph Losey / Hanover NH / '70." Additional underlining and bracketing throughout in the same fountain pen ink as the inscription mostly to the opening chapters of the text. <br/><br/>The McCarthy / HUAC witch hunt saw Losey hounded out of the United States in the 1950s and to his great regret he never made another film in his home country. Professionally though it was the making of him as a director: in collaboration with Harold Pinter Losey made a trilogy of legendary British films of the 1960s: "The Servant" "Accident" and "The Go-Between." Pinter and Losey also worked closely together on an adaptation of Proust's "In Search of Lost Time" but although the script was later published the film remained unmade. <br/><br/>Losey shared both a political philosophy and a cinema aesthetic with Alain Resnais and Losey's 1978 film "Roads to the South" is a sequel to Resnais' 1966 film "The War is Over." Both starred Yves Montand. <br/><br/>Very Good with light wear at the extremities and creasing to the spine from having been read. Doubleday unknown books
