Rare group of 3 original 8" x10" candid still photographs of Montgomery Clift during the filming of Judgment At Nurmeberg. Two of the stills are of him and Maxmillian Schell & one is of him with Spencer Tracy, Richard Widmark & Burt Lancaster in deep conversation. The film was one of the big movie events of the year, and was nominated for 10 Oscars including one for Clift., but the film only won for Schell's performance and adapted screenplay, the only Oscar that West Side Story in its sweep did not win.

A play from a failed writer
The book, or at least my copy of it, begins by talking about Tennessee Williams' life as a failed writer before he started writing this play. I probably should have put it down then and there; the play unfolds to be exactly that, the work of a man who never should have been a writer. Williams really needed to learn how to show, not tell. It seems to be one of the most obvious and avoidable pitfalls, but this author fell for it so badly it ruins the play. For example, the play begins with a character, the narrator, talking about the play's meaning and giving the audience background. This is something that should obviously be done through the story, and not through direct explanation, and this theme returns in just about every scene. I'd stay away from this book if I were you.

One of my favorite plays to teach!
I love The Glass Menagerie, and love teaching it, as well. The characters are so unrealistic, but so clearly defined. Read it - and the rest of Tennessee Williams, as well!

The Glass Menagerie
The script was in excellent condition and it was received quickly. And the price was fantastic as well. Terrific!Thank you!

The Lives We Shatter
Most people have great difficulty grasping the themes, much less deciphering the symbolism and foreshadowing, embedded within great literature from "A Separate Peace" and "Catcher in the Rye" to "The Glass Menagerie."Each of these examples is an exemplary piece of art, but if for no other reason than the prolific nature of Tennessee Williams' calling compared to that of the other two authors, "Menagerie" deserves a special place on the mantle of top-notch reads -- not only literary but true brilliance with ink on mere pages of paper.
Some assign responsibility for the family's well-being on Tom's shoulders when all he longs for is a life of his own and at last arranges to flee his hellish world, aptly, via the fire escape -- whether it ends up going as he expects or not -- thereby "devastating" the others.Nonsense!Williams' ultimate points were two.The first was that Thoreau was right (in Williams' own depressed worldview) when he wrote in "Walden":
"The mass of men lead lives of quiet
desperation. What is called resignation
is confirmed desperation."
The second, which was quite a paradox to Tom's generally perceived as selfish desertion of the family, was that we all make our own lives.Tom simply chose to make his.
