1961 · New York
by TOBY, Mark
New York: Bernard Geis Associates, 1961. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. First edition. Fine in a lightly rubbed, fine dustwrapper with none of the usual spine-fading. Basis for the 1963 Vincente Minnelli film featuring Glenn Ford, Shirley Jones, Stella Stevens, Dina Merrill, and Jerry Van Dyke, with Ron Howard as Eddie. Later a popular television series with Bill Bixby, Brandon Cruz, Miyoshi Umeki, and, on several occasions, a very young Jody Foster (not to mention a catchy Harry Nilsson theme song). A scarce book.
