LOSER TAKES ALL

London: William Heinemann Ltd, 1955. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. In his dedication, Greene writes, "...this tale has not been written for the purposes of encouraging adultery, the use of pajama tops, or registry office marriages. Nor is it meant to discourage gambling." This novella served as the basis for the 1956 British comedy film starring Glynis Johns, Rossano Brazzi, and Robert Borley, with a screenplay by Greene. Octavo. Original blue cloth binding, with gilt stamping. The dust jacket is price-clipped, with some mild toning and wear along the extremities; otherwise very good. (Inventory #: 77357)
