Softcover. Zustand: Very Good-. Later Printing. [minor wear to extremities, spine somewhat browned, old selling price of $1.00 rubber-stamped at upper corner of front cover, some pencil annotations throughout Act 1]. (B&W photo frontispiece) Classic "big house" melodrama, focusing on a group of prisoners on Death Row in a Federal prison in Oklahoma. Spencer Tracy's starring performance in the original Broadway production led directly to his first Hollywood contract, although when the play was filmed in 1932 the role went to Preston Foster (and subsequently to Mickey Rooney when the picture was remade in 1959). Playwright Wexley made his way to Hollywood, too, and garnered a few notable screenwriting credits before his politics caught up with him (he was a Communist Party member) and he was blacklisted in the late 1940s. The book's preface is by Lewis E. Lawes, Warden of Sing Sing Prison since 1920, who wrote numerous books on penal-related topics, most notably "Twenty Thousand Years in Sing Sing" (1932). This printing probably dates from the late 1930s; the cover design is identical to the first softcover printing, but in this book both "They Shall Not Die" (1934) and "Steel" (1937) are listed as the playwright's other works. Also: unlike the first printing, which was illustrated with three black-and-white stills from the original production, this copy has only a single photo as the frontispiece.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. First Edition. (patterned paper-covered boards; no dust jacket) [slight bumping to bottom corners, some fading to spine, tiny tear at top of spine; firmly bound and internally clean]. Dramatization of the Scottsboro Boys case and trial, by a playwright who went on to a relatively brief screenwriting career before his political associations caught up with him and got him blacklisted. The original Broadway production starred Claude Rains as attorney "Nathan G. Rubin," a fictionalized version of Samuel Leibowitz; also in the cast were Tom Ewell, Ruth Gordon, Dean Jagger and Erskine Sanford. Wexley had previously scored a hit with his prison drama "The Last Mile," which was filmed twice, in 1932 and 1959.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The Last Mile: A Play in Three Acts' is a powerful and harrowing exploration of the American penal system, specifically the agonizing experience of life on death row. Written by John Wexley and informed by the writings of Lewis E. Lawes, the warden of Sing Sing Prison, this three-act drama captures the suffocating atmosphere of a cell block where men await their final walk to the electric chair. The play centers on the psychological disintegration of the condemned inmates and the moral conflicts of the guards who oversee them.As the narrative unfolds, the tension shifts from the quiet desperation of individual cells to a violent and desperate uprising. The characters grapple with themes of justice, redemption, and the inhumanity of capital punishment. Through its stark realism and intense dialogue, the work provides a searing indictment of the judicial process and the mental toll of confinement. 'The Last Mile' remains a significant piece of 20th-century social protest literature, offering a visceral look at the intersection of crime, punishment, and the human spirit. Its portrayal of a prison riot serves as a dramatic climax that challenges the audience to confront the realities of the carceral state.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
