The jacket comes in a removable protective Brod-Art wrapper. The red cloth covers of the book only have some minor wear. The binding is good and sound. There are a few pages with some minor notation in red ink (ie: ellipses, bracketing, minimal underlining, etc).

"From the UCLA Film Archive: Produced during director Cecil B. DeMille s brief residency at MGM (and following a period of independent production), this pre-Code comedy concerns the elaborate plan of a wealthy socialite to regain the heart of her philandering husband by means of a costume ball on a dirigible, at which the wife will seduce the husband while disguised. This unique vision of jazz-age decadence is one of the strangest and most arresting of DeMille's sex comedies. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Corp. Director: Cecil B. DeMille. Screenwriter: Jeanie Macpherson, Gladys Unger, Elsie Janis. Cinematographer: Harold Rosson. Editor: Anne Bauchens. Cast: Kay Johnson, Reginald Denny, Lillian Roth, Roland Young, Elsa Peterson.".
