The Films of Hedy Lamarr

Secacus NJ: The Citadel Press. Near Fine in Very Good+ dj. (c.1978). First Edition. Hardcover. [very nice copy, a touch of soiling to bottom edges of covers, bookseller's rubber-stamp on front endpaper; the jacket is lightly surface-worn, with a few tiny tears and minor dog-earing at top of spine, and is just a bit shorter than the book itself]. (B&W photographs) The usual "films of" formula: a brief biographical essay (accompanied by dozens of photos), followed by a film-by-film rundown of the actress's career, with credits, cast, synopsis, review excerpts and historical notes for each film; also covers her appearances in short films and on (truncated) television. The acknowledgements include "special thanks to Miss Hedy Lamarr, a very lovely and gracious lady," so it would appear that the book at least had her blessing, if not necessarily her active participation. ****NOTE that additional postage charges will be assessed for international shipping of this heavy book; if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order.**** .
