‎Steve Fisher‎

‎Destroyer First Edition inscribed to the producer of "I Wake Up Screaming"‎

‎New York: D. Appleton-Century 1941. First Edition. First Edition. INSCRIBED by Fisher to Hollywood producer Milton Sperling who produced the first adaptation of Fisher's fiction to the screen the seminal 1941 noir "I Wake Up Screaming": "For Milton Sperling / In sincere appreciation / and with very best wishes for his success health and happiness / Steve Fisher / Sept. 15 1941." <br/><br/>The inscription was likely made near the end of the film's production as Fisher co-authored the screenplay in addition to having written the novel and the film opened in the US a little more than a month later on October 31 1941. Sperling worked in Hollywood between 1936 and 1971 and also produced such notable films as Pursued 1947 The Enforcer 1951 and The Battle of the Bulge 1965. A tremendous association marking the beginning of Steve Fisher's impressive career as a screenwriter and an uncommon title in jacket written the same year-a novel informed by his experiences in the US Navy. <br/><br/>About Fine in a Very Good plus spine-faded dust jacket.
