About This Item
Octavo, 294pp. + 14pp ads. Publisher's blush cloth with stamped board and spine. A near fine copy in a beautiful striking dustwrapper with an iconic image of Jean Harlow. This particular Photoplay edition was released to coincide with the 1932 and followed the release of the original 1931 novel by a year. The film was adapted for the screen by Anita Loos and directed by Jack Conway and starred Jean Harlow, Chester Morris, Ina Merkel, Leila Hyams and an early appearance by Charles Boyer. The story is about a woman, Lil Andrew's, who uses her sex appeal to move up the social ladder. This is the first film Harlow made under her new MGM contract which was acquired from Howard Hughes' Caddo Company for $30,000 by Irving Thalberg. Red Headed Woman was a major hit back in 1932 and remains one of cinema's iconic pre code era films. Interestingly, this particularly copy does not have stills from the film as all Photoplay editions did not include stills and by the mid 30s, the practice had virtually ended. Copies in the striking dustwrapper have become scarce over the decades and this is indeed a very nice example.
