Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine dj. Illustrated by (dj design) Bryan Organ (illustrator). 1st U.S. edition. INSCRIBED "To Gordon / with much affection always / & happy memories of / the prison compound at / Gower Street!" and SIGNED by the author on the ffep, additional dated "Sept. 1973." Novel by the noted actor-turned-film director/producer/writer, about "a marriage and a love affair carried on in the midst of the glamour, cynicism, and sordidness of the international movie world" (a scene the author knew all too well). According to Hollywood fiction bibliographer Anthony Slide, Forbes had begun writing the novel twenty years before its publication. He goes to some pains, in a prefatory note, to disavow any autobiographical content, writing: "It is no secret that I am a film director married, and happily so, to an actress [Nanette Newman], but I am not the Warren of this story nor is my wife the Susan. The fiction of the film industry has always been stronger than its fact and my inventions and characters bear no resemblance to living people. Only the insanities are real." (He puts a little extra icing on it by dedicating the book to his wife.) [Although the author's inscription suggests a relationship to the production of KING RAT, directed by Forbes at Columbia Pictures in 1965, no "Gordon" is listed among that film's credits, so the identity of the inscribee is thus far unestablished.] Signed by Author 0-06-011308-1.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. The first American edition of this novel by the noted director of King Rat, The L-Shaped Room, The Raging Moon and others. Warmly inscribed to film critic Pauline Kael: "'Spare my face, aim at my heart'/ with admiration for the fact/ that you always care -- / and/ With kindest regards/ from/ Bryan Forbes," and dated in 1974. Foredge foxed; near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Kael, with her studied disdain for the "auteur theory" of film -- which argues in part that any film by a great filmmaker must be viewed in light of that greatness, and forgiven its defects -- was fiercely independent in her reviewing, often praising one of a director's films to the sky while panning another brutally. Many of her correspondents in the film world, like Forbes, recognized and respected that in her writings, even when she had savaged one or more of their films. Forbes inscription here is typical of the kind of response Kael elicited from many filmmakers -- respect, and even admiration, for her integrity. Kael's 1974 book, Deeper Into the Movies, was the first book on film to win the National Book Award. Unless otherwise noted, our first editions are first printings.
