[ILL-L] RE: "Beer and Blood"

[Hunt, Kelley]

Also, I found this info:


The film is based upon a 300-page draft of an unpublished novel called "Beer and Blood," written by two former street thugs named John Bright and Kubec Glasmon. These men were first-hand witnesses to gang rivalries in Chicago, and both of them witnessed many of Al Capone's murderous rampages. Darryl Zanuck, studio head at Warner Bros., thought the story was perfectly suited to Warners' "headline policy" (that is, their tendency, in the 1930s, to base most of their films' scripts on current newspaper stories. Warner Bros. bought the rights to "Beer and Blood" but never published it, instead producing a tie-in novelization of the movie plot written by an anonymous studio writer.

Good Morning All,
      A professor wants the original novelette which was later adapted into the classic film, "The Public Enemy" in 1931. It was written by John Bright and Kubec Glasmon. I can't find a listing for it on WorldCat. Does anyone have or know where I can find a copy of this item. Any information will be appreciated.
