New York: Harcourt, Brace and Company, 1945. Hardcover. Fine/Very Good. First edition. Fine in very good plus dustwrapper with some modest overall age-toning. Adapted from Kathryn Forbes' book *Mama's Bank Account*, the play was the basis for the 1948 George Stevens film with Irene Dunne as Mama. Dunne, Oskar Homolka, Barbara Bel Geddes, and Ellen Corby were all nominated for acting Academy Awards; none of them won. Homolka reprised his role from the original theatrical production, which also featured Marlon Brando in a lesser role. (Inventory #: 75031)
