Damn you, Wilson Rawls. I haven’t read your book in more than 30 years and even now, thinking of it makes me cry.
This one also made me cry, but probably from boredom? I can’t rightly recall, except that it was quite upsetting and not my speed…

“Where the Red Fern of Courage Grows,” a #mashup of #WhereTheRedFernGrows and #TheRedBadgeOfCourage, which I prompose might be the saddest #book ever 🤔

John Huston's five-year run from 1948-1953 is pretty tough to beat:
The Treasure of the Sierra Madre- 1948
Key Largo- 1948
We Were Strangers- 1949
The Asphalt Jungle- 1950
#TheRedBadgeOfCourage -1951
The African Queen- 1951
Moulin Rouge- 1952
Beat the Devil- 1953

The naturalistic black and white cinematography of #TheRedBadgeOfCourage is provided by Harold Rosson, who shot a couple of other pretty good flicks (in color!) called The Wizard of Oz and Singin' in the Rain. Oh, and he was also married to Jean Harlow, the sly dog. #TCMParty
John Huston was no stranger to adapting well-known authors like Stephen Crane; he made films from classic works of Melville, Kipling, Joyce, Flannery O'Connor, Malcolm Lowry, and Carson McCullers, besides his noir/action adaptations of Hammett, Traven, and Burnett. #TheRedBadgeOfCourage #TCMParty
John Huston was proud of his 2-hour cut of #TheRedBadgeOfCourage, and left for Africa to shoot #TheAfricanQueen. But the Stephen Crane adaptation was caught in a MGM power struggle between LB Mayer and Dore Schary, hacked down to 69 minutes in Huston’s absence and buried on double bills. #TCMParty

Stephen Crane's classic, The Red Badge of Courage, has been adapted into a graphic novel, and I had a chance to preview it. Highly recommend! #BookReview #TheRedBadgeofCourage #NetGalley #ARCReview #ClassicBooks #GraphicNovel #Booksky #Bookblogger
