Lewis, Sinclair. DODSWORTH. New York: Harcourt, Brace, [1929]. First edition. 8vo. Walter Huston memorably conveyed the world-weariness of the title character in the 1936 William Wyler movie. Laid into this copy is a 1946 TLS from Huston to Laurence Olivier in which he thanks Olivier for "inviting me to the showing of 'Henry V.' It took great courage to make this picture and Shakespeare as interpreted in this production will be understood by the masses. It is as modern as today's newspaper; a truly great achievement beyond criticism; the finest acting I have ever seen in any picture." Hardcover. A fine, fresh copy in a fine, first issue dust jacket. Housed in a custom-made clamshell box.
