About this Item

Filmed in 1946, starring James Mason and Phyllis Calvert, They Were Sisters is noted for its frank, unsparing depiction of marital abuse at a time when the subject was rarely discussed openly: three sisters' choice of husband - which dictates whether they have homes, and whether, in their homes, they will be allowed to flourish, be tamed or repressed. First cheap edition. Page edges slightly foxed but no inscriptions. Dust jacket near complete, not price-clipped but chipped with some loss to edges and spine. Seller Inventory # 005028
