Little Caesar was W R Burnett’s first novel from 1929 that was adapted into the 1931 mafia film of the same title. The film was a huge success and launched a screenwriting career for Burnett. Some of his other notable films include Scarface, The Whole Town’s Talking, High Sierra, Wake Island and The Great Escape.
Many consider Little Caesar to be the first gangster novel and it gave rise to Burnett’s prolific screenwriting career as well as paved the way for many other mobster films. The first edition Little Caesar is highly sought after. Below is a recent realized price:
