New York: St. Martin's Press. Near Fine in Very Good dj. (c.1984). First Edition. Hardcover. [light wear to cloth at spine ends, no other significant wear; the jacket has a bit of wear at extremities, but shows only a slight trace (at the spine) of the uneven grey/green color-shifting that's so common with this book]. (B&W photographs) SIGNED boldly on the ffep by the author; quite uncommon thus. "The actor who created [sic] the role of Resistance leader Victor Lazlo in movie history's best-known film, Casablanca, tells the no less dramatic and colorful story of his own life beginning with his charmed childhood among the aristocrats of pre-World War I Vienna, where amiability and elegance were the order of the day for the von Hernried family." Paul went on to a career in the theatre and later Hollywood stardom, although that was "all but destroyed by the blacklist, upon which he was wrongly placed." During the latter part of his life he found "a second career as a director/producer for movies and television." Signed by Author .
