In den WarenkorbHardcover. Zustand: Good. First edition. Small quarto. Quarter cloth and papercovered boards with printed label. Modest stains on the spine, some light tidemarks on the front board and on the edge of the first couple of leaves, else a sound good or better copy lacking the dust jacket, but with all plates and maps present. Inscri…bed by Robert J. Flaherty to the film director, screenwriter, and producer Paul Bern: "To Paul Bern with the good wishes of the author, Robert Flaherty. New York City. Jan. 4th, 1927." Bern was Irving Thalberg's personal assistant and considered one of the great talents in Hollywood, but his fate was unfortunate, related by Kenneth Anger in his scandalous book *Hollywood Babylon*. Bern died by his own hand just two months after marrying the Hollywood bombshell Jean Harlow. Anger attributed Bern's suicide to his impotence, but others surmised he was murdered by an abandoned common-in-law wife, with the studio covering up the scandal to protect their biggest star. This book documents several of Flaherty's trips to the Hudson Bay area, which were the basis for the ultra-influential 1922 film *Nanook of The North*, generally regarded as the first feature-length documentary. Bern had an extensive library; many of his books fell into the possession of his friend and fellow MGM producer Carey Wilson, from whose estate this came. A terrific association connecting two important early Hollywood figures.
