Photograph First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Chandler, Raymond. AND NOW TOMORROW. Hollywood: Paramount, 1944. 13 Near Fine original roughly 8" by 10" glossy vintage black & white publicity and scene stills from the movie, nearly all of which are studio-stamped and double-weight. A rare collection of images from one of only six Hollywood film scripts written by mystery writer Raymond Chandler. Alan Ladd plays a doctor trying to cure deaf Loretta Young even as evil Susan Hayward is scheming ways to steal Barry Sullivan, Loretta's husband, away from her. The film was directed by Irving Pichel ("Jezebel" "The Moon Is Down" "They Won't Believe Me") who was later black-listed and victimized by the infamous McCarthy red scare witch hunt, which led to his early death in 1954. Plenty of Chandler touches in the characterizations. An interesting collection in exceptional original condition.
