New York: Random House. Very Good+ in Very Good dj. (c.1948). First Edition. Hardcover. [light shelfwear, spine very slightly turned, slight age-toning to edges of text block; the jacket is a bit edgeworn, with various small nicks and tears, some surface-scuffing, and a bit of paper loss at both ends of the spine]. (B&W photographs by John Swope) The hit play (which ran for almost three years in its original Broadway engagement), based on the 1946 novel of the same name by Heggen, which was derived from his wartime experience in the U.S. Navy. The play starred Henry Fonda, who repeated the role in the 1955 film version, which was co-directed by John Ford and Mervyn LeRoy (officially), with Joshua Logan brought in late in the production to re-shoot selected scenes (uncredited). Heggen himself was overwhelmed by the play's success, suffered a crippling bout of writer's block, and tragically died (either accidentally or by suicide) just a little over a year into the play's original run. .
