E.M. Corder – The Deer Hunter – First US Edition 1968
£95.00
A first US edition, first printing published by Exeter Books in 1979. A near fine book without inscriptions. Some slight bumping to the head and base of the spine. Clean and bright internally. In a like, unclipped wrapper showing some rubbing to the head and base of the spine and corners. Based on the screenplay by Deric Washburn.
This first edition is the serialisation of the American epic war drama film of the same name directed by Michael Cimino. The story revolves around three Russian-American steelworkers from Pennsylvania—Michael (Robert De Niro), Nick (Christopher Walken), and Steven (John Savage)—whose lives are forever changed by their service in the Vietnam War. The film is divided into three acts: their life before the war, the traumatic experiences during the war, and the haunting aftermath as they try to reintegrate into civilian life.
The movie powerfully explores themes of friendship, trauma, and the brutal reality of war. Its depiction of the psychological impact of the Vietnam War on soldiers and their community is both poignant and harrowing. Notable for its intense Russian roulette scenes, the film also examines the personal and communal costs of conflict. “The Deer Hunter” won five Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director, cementing its place as a classic war drama.
