When his wife dies young, Canadian immigrant ironworker, Jim Fulton, is left with four children he hardly knows and a neighborhood of relatives willing to help raise them. But his stubborn independence keeps getting in his way as he grapples clumsily with a world changing fast and sometimes violently. Set in the Long Island suburbs and up on the girders of the Manhattan skyline in the early 1970's, Motherless Children is both a riotous family saga and a sobering confrontation with the 20th century white American working class as it struggles to overcome inherited prejudice.

Treasure of the Sierra Madre
A search for gold in the mountains of Mexico leads three American prospectors to both treasure and loss in John Huston's screenplay for his acclaimed and much-studied 1948 film. This volume provides the full text of the screenplay with extensive annotations, production and cast credits, a research inventory, and frame enlargements that feature Humphrey Bogart, Walter and John Huston, and Alfonso Bedoya in their movie roles. Renowned film critic and historian James Naremore contrasts the film with the original anticapitalist novel by the legendary writer B. Traven and describes director Huston's art in the historical context of 1940s Hollywood.
