The Woman in Red

London: Collins, 1941. First UK Edition. Basis for the 1945 film noir "My Name is Julia Ross," directed by Joseph H. Lewis and starring Nina Foch and George Macready. One of the most difficult Anthony Gilbert titles in jacket, and an important film source.

Very Good plus in a Very Good plus, price-clipped example of the scarce dust jacket. Some color fading on the top edges of the boards, with light foxing on the endpapers and page edges. Jacket is lightly faded on the spine panel, with small nicks at the corners. An attractive copy.

The Dark Page I: 1940-1949, p. 110.
