Book by Julius J. Epstein
Based on the play Front Porch in Flatbush by Julius J. and Philip G. Epstein
The Notion
"Brooklyn in the spring of 1929. A group of working-class boys in their late teens and early twenties, on the advice of their charismatic but misguided leadeer Gene, a runner on Wall Street, pools their money in an effort to make a killing in the stock market. After comic and romantic complications, they fail, having learned that getting rich quick is harder than it seems."
- Stephen Sondheim in Finishing the Hat -
