FIRST EDITION. Inscribed by the author to Paul Gallico: "To Paul Gallico, 'a magician with words', from a humble novice, Valerie Pascal". 8vo. (23 x 15.5 cm). pp.356+[1]. Publisher's brown cloth, the spine lettered in gilt, in the original dust-jacket designed by Fran Elfenbein. Black and white photographic plates. Some toning to dust-jacket, generally a very good copy. "The man is a genius; that is all I have to say about him." So wrote George Bernard Shaw of Gabriel Pascal, the mercurial Hungarian who first successfully brought his plays to the screen - producing the unforgettable film versions of Pygmalion, Major Barbara, and Caesar and Cleopatra - and whose idea it was to transform Pygmalion into the legendary musical, My Fair Lady. Genius Pascal undoubtedly was. Shaw called him the Diaghileff of films, and in his conception of the possibilities of the movie medium he was far ahead of his time. But he was also a singular human being who combined in one kaleidoscopic personality charm and arrogance, tenderness and cruelty, the appetites of a sensualist and the ascetic aspirations of a monk. This book is Valerie Pascal's biography of her husband-a candid memoir of a man whose career spanned continents, who knew and worked with virtually every important film and theater personality of his day, who savored brilliant triumphs yet fought with stubborn courage the misfortunes that circumstances and his own willful nature brought upon him. It is also a fascinating portrait - highlighted by numerous lively quotations from the unpublished Shaw-Pascal correspondence - of GBS in his vigorous old age, involved to the hilt in Pascal's films of his plays, as concerned with the finances of the productions as with the details of casting, direction, and scripts. But not least, Valerie Pascal has writ- ten a memorable love story. One of the most beautiful and popular actresses in Hungary, she had gone to Paris to make a screen test for her famous com- patriot, but what was to have been a business appointment became instead the kind of encounter that gives rise to romantic legends. In love as never before, Valerie left home, husband, and career to join her life to Pascal's. It was no easy marriage. There were moments of the most perfect love and understanding, and glamour, famous and talented friends, travel all over the world. But Valerie had to face with her own gallant courage her husband's moods and caprices, his frequent absences, his sometimes scandalous in- fidelities, and the heartbreaking decline of his fortunes-symbolized, perhaps, by his failure to get My Fair Lady produced before his death. But these were two people who could not exist without each other; and through the years the breathless love affair that had be- gun in autumn twilight on the Place Vendôme matured and deepened and acquired for both of them a truly spiritual dimension. It is an extraordinary story; and Valerie Pascal has told it with honesty and grace in this remarkable book (dust-jacket).
