Item description from seller

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - In the spring of 1952, 18-year-old Pete Darling lands his first professional acting job on a TV show done live and starring elegant matinee idol Gerald Manley, still going strong at 61. Actually, the star gives a wan and lifeless performance, while his wife, Cass, 21, a gorgeous model, shows what a model wife she is by flirting with every male in sight.Pete steals the show as a comical office boy. That night, too excited to sleep, he savors his success. He has never thought of himself as leading man material. But now-why not Hamlet. Henry the Fifth. Stanley Kowalski in Streetcar.

After watching a kinescope of the show, the detectives agree that Pete's performance was taut, luminous and compelling. The kid will go far-maybe even to the chair.Enter reporter Ster Brewster of the rowdy New York Daily Express. Ster is one well-dressed man about town, with his fedora brushed till it purrs. Mid-forties and divorced, but about as lonely as a porch light on a summer night. He covers the case with glee; almost every day presents him with a different angle, another Page One story. The Tea Scene Was Murder, as told by a retired reporter who says he prefers being inspired to being expired, is by turns humorous, poignant and suspenseful. As the case unfolds, Pete and Ster face multiple challenges-particularly when each of them falls for Cass and her seductive ways.…
