Erstausgabe
Unbound. Zustand: Near Fine. Galley proof. Loose folio sheets. [80]pp. The first sheet is lightly toned, with a few nicks and tears at the edges, and both two tape remnants and two staples, but overall near fine with only mild creasing to the corner of a couple additional sheets. A copy of the publisher's photocopied galley proof used for internal production showing a smattering of corrections to the preliminary pages and the text, along with two pencil notes on the first page noting: "Spring '85?" and "Simon & Schuster." The story, first developed in the 1940s while working at MGM, was never produced. It was eventually sold to publisher Anthony Blonde in the 1980s who asked Greene to revise the story. This is the galley of that first hardcover edition from by Bodley Head published in March 1985 and later in American by Simon & Schuster in the fall. Three years later it was made into a TV movie starring Anthony Hopkins, Derek Jacobi, and Kristen Scott Thomas.

Erstausgabe Signiert
First edition, first impression, presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "For Philip & Jacqueline, this corrected copy, with love, from Graham", and with 13 holograph corrections to the text. Presentation copies of Greene's books with substantial authorial corrections are rare. The recipients were Philip Stratford, a Professor of English at the University of Montreal, and his wife Jacqueline. Philip first met Greene by chance in Paris in the early 1950s, where he was staying while writing a PhD thesis on Greene and François Mauriac, later published as Faith and Fiction: Creative Process in Greene and Mauriac (1964), which led to renewed academic interest in Greene's writing in North America. The pair met again in 1970, when Greene asked Stratford to select a number of extracts from his prose for The Portable Graham Greene (1972). While Stratford was editing the volume, he moved to Antibes, on the French Riviera, where Greene had relocated in 1966. There, they drank martinis together at Restaurant Felix, and Stratford and his wife often hosted Greene for dinner. After the Stratfords moved back to Montreal, they were regular visitors to Greene at Antibes, and remained friends with the author until his death in 1991. The present book is accompanied by a note of provenance from their daughter, Catherine. Octavo. Original green boards, spine lettered in gilt. With dust jacket. Spine cocked, one tiny ink stain to top edge; top edge of dust jacket slightly creased: a near-fine copy in like dust jacket.
