"The Immoralist" on Broadway (?!)

Ken Jost was kind enough to share the following tidbit.  Did you know that a play based on the book we discussed tonight—Andre Gide's The Immoralist—ran for three months on Broadway in 1954?  It starred Louis Jourdan as Michel, Geraldine Page as Marcelline and James Dean (!) as Bachir.

And an appreciation of the novel here by Wallace Fowlie.
