4.0
I picked this up at a book sale last month. I had seen and loved the 1950 film adaption of this play by the same name and was excited to read the play's original script. From what I remember of the film's script, very few changes were made in the script when it made the change from play to film. The play, however, does contain a good amount of profanity (generally coming from Harry Brock's mouth) and a little more innuendo than the Hays Code allowed the film adaption. Nonetheless, I greatly enjoyed reading this and imagining the original Broadway cast in the roles. I'm sorry Broderick Crawford, but I can't help sort of wishing Paul Douglas had reprised his role for the film.
