Red Gloves
Appearance
Red Gloves is a play by Jean-Paul Sartre. It appeared on Broadway in 1948 in a production adapted by Daniel Taradash and starring John Dall, Joan Tetzel, and Charles Boyer.[1][2]
It was originally called Crime Passionel.[3] Jed Harris directed the Broadway production.[4]
Sartre successfully sued the producers of the adaptation, fearing--unjustly, according to Harris--that it had become “a vulgar, common melodrama with an anti-Communist bias."[5]
