1938148844Culver City CA: RKO Radio Pictures 1938. Vintage double weight photograph of Katharine Hepburn Howard Hawks and a resting Cary Grant on the set of the 1938 film. <br/><br/>One of the foundational entries in the canon of American screwball comedies. Based on the short story by Hagar Wilde which originally appeared in Collier's Weekly magazine on April 10 1937.<br/><br/>Zoologist David Huxley Grant develops a wary interest in the niece of dowager Mrs. Carelton Random Hepburn which as in all great screwball comedies is not finalized as a romance until about the last ten seconds of the film. But what makes this film singular is that the story is built around the maintenance aspects of raising a pet leopard creating a rapid-fire blur of events and dialogue that doesn't let up for the entire 102-minute running time. The film bombed upon release causing RKO to drop both of the stars but today ranks as one of the best films made by either. <br/><br/>8 x 10 inches.

193125817Boston: Little Brown and Company. Fair. 1931. First Edition. Hardcover. no dust jacket FAIR condition only although solidly bound and internally clean except for the initials of I guess a one-time owner on the front pastedown; externally though it's kind of a mess with a number of small paper bits stuck to the front cover which is also quite soiled and a large ugly stain on the rear cover I suspect the paper bits are remnants of the no-longer-present dust jacket which was probably moisture-adhered to the book at some point. Novel about a sophisticated New York marriage that turns sour. The first of only two published novels by Ms. Wilde a prolific short story writer and sometime playwright who later became better known as a screenwriter notably of the classic screwball comedies BRINGING UP BABY she had also written the original magazine story and shared the screenplay credit with with Dudley Nichols and I WAS A MALE WAR BRIDE both directed by Howard Hawks and for what it's worth both featuring Cary Grant in drag. For those who are interested in such minutae the dedicatee of this novel "E.V.H." was undoubtedly her second of four husbands Ernest Victor Heyn. This novel was her first entree to Hollywood as it was announced that Paramount had purchased the movie rights although no movie was ever made but it was RKO's later purchase of the Collier's story that became BRINGING UP BABY that firmly established her screenwriting career. .
