(Agee, James)

Campaign Book for RKO's The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky

N.p. RKO Radio Pictures, [circa 1952], 1952. First Edition. 0 pp. Soft cover. The Campaign Book for the film version of Stephen Crane's short story. This movie was the first effort by Huntington Hartford to produce a film and also the first appearance by James Agee, who also wrote the screenplay, as a film actor. The Campaign Book is printed on one large sheet folded to make four 11" x 17' pages. This copy has only slight wear, but it does have a small clipping from the last page. This Campaign Book is quite scare, since the movie does not appear to have been independently released. It did appear in a film anthology titled "Face to Face" with an adaptation of Joseph Conrad's The Secret Sharer. Very Good.

[AGEE, James] LEWIS, Sinclair

Elmer Gantry [James Agee's Copy at Phillips Exeter Academy Dated March 1927]

New York, Harcourt, Brace and Company, (1927). Hardcover. A later printing, ex-library copy with the bookplate of The Phillips Exeter Academy library on the front pastedown, stamped DISCARDED, of a book made into a film starring Burt Lancaster that won three Academy Awards. An undistinguished copy BUT for the fact that it belonged to James Agee with his SIGNATURE "J R Agee" dated March 1927 on the front free endpaper. This copy later belonged to Henry Darcy Curwen, of the Exeter English faculty, who signed his name below Agee's. In March 1927, Agee, at age 17, was in his "upper-middle" year (junior) at Exeter, an admirer of Sinclair Lewis and already committed to a literary career, submitting poems and stories to the Phillips Exeter Monthly. In one of his early letters to Father Flye (LETTERS OF JAMES AGEE TO FATHER FLYE, pages 27-28) dated Exeter 17 March 1927, Agee writes: "I've bought and read Elmer Gantry, the Lewis satire on religion. It's very disappointing, although excellent in spots. He's turning rancid." Reflecting his own psychological unease at the time, Agee soon expands this somewhat in one of his earliest published critical articles, a review of ELMER GANTRY in the Phillips Exeter Monthly 31 (May 1927): "It is one gigantic crescendo of walloping filthiness, and I have the feeling that it carried Mr. Lewis before it, and left him stranded where not even himself can work his salvation." Early signed Agee material is uncommon, and the important resonance of this copy with his beginning literary efforts can hardly be exaggerated. Good copy, lacking the dustwrapper. An Agee rarity .

AGEE, James

Film Writing and Selected Journalism

New York, The Library of America, 2005. Hardcover. Edited by Michael Sragow. 8vo. Tan cloth with gilt spine lettering, ivory slipcase. 748pp, (5pp). Illustrations, decorative endpapers, sewn-in tan satin page marker. Fine/fine. A tight and pristine first edition thus (volume 160) of this selection, elaborated on title page as "Agee on Film: Reviews and Comments / Uncollected Film Writing / The Night of the Hunter / Journalism and Book Reviews." Interesting autograph addition: Agee's screenplay "Night of the Hunter" was turned into the 1955 film noire thriller starring Robert Mitchum, Shelley Winters and Lillian Gish -- this last of whom has boldly signed in black fineline a fine heavy stock 5" X 3" card tipped to an inner flyleaf. Gish (1896-1993) who portrays Rachel Cooper in the film, was nicknamed "The First Lady of the Silent Screen" and her many films ranged from silent classics such as "Birth of a Nation" (1915) to made-for-television dramas such as "The Whales of August" (1987). Quite an unusual copy. Laid in is the LOA leaflet for this volume. .
