Carbondale/Edwardsville IL: Southern Illinois University Press. Fine in Fine dj. (c.1979). First Edition. Hardcover. (price-clipped) [both book and jacket are as-new, with no discernible wear, having been in the original publisher's shrink-wrap until I removed it to check the bibliographic details; and yes, that's when it was discovered that the jacket was clipped, so the publisher must have sent it out that way(?)]. (Screenplay Library) Series (B&W photographs) Screenplay for the 1948 film, with an lengthy afterword by screenwriter Wald, in which he discusses the genesis, writing and production of the film, which was directed by Jules Dassin. Errata sheet laid in at rear of book, the sole purpose of which seems to have been to correct the screenplay credit to put Maltz's name before Wald's. .
