"I knew Bert Brecht was close to being a genius, but he was a funny-looking man to me." Viertel graduated from Dartmouth College in ...

It has been translated into fourteen languages and adapted for the stage ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |
