Customer Reviews

Unrelentingly negative - a gem.

A charming little doomed romance from the 1930's, John O'hara's prime. A world weary screen-writer of only limited success in his mid-thirties is in love with an idealistic young woman in her twenties who is only passingly interested in him. When her long estranged father comes to LA on business, tragedy ensues. Unrelentingly negative - a gem. Whenever I feel melancholy, I just read it and wallow in Catholic despond at our lot in life.
