S.N. Behrman’s brilliant wartime comedy-drama 'Jacobowsky and the Colonel' completed a celebrated original Broadway premiere at the Martin Beck Theatre in 1944, running for an astonishing 417 performances and capturing the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for Best Play. Set in occupied France in 1940 against the sweltering backdrop of the Nazi invasion, the intricate plot tracks a gentle, quick-witted Jewish refugee who teams up with an arrogant, anti-semitic Polish military officer to flee Paris, navigating an administrative minefield of espionage. Directed by Elia Kazan, this printing showcases the poster illustrations of Al Hirschfeld.
