{"product_id":"9781476626789","title":"The Making and Influence of I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang","description":"Robert E. Burns, a World War I veteran coerced into taking part in a petty crime in Atlanta, Georgia, was sentenced to hard labor on a chain gang in 1922. Twice escaping and on the lam for decades, he was aided only by his minister-poet brother, Vincent G. Burns. Their collaborative work, \u003ci\u003eI Am a Fugitive from a Georgia Chain Gang!\u003c\/i\u003e was the basis for Darryl F. Zanuck’s and Mervyn Leroy’s hard-hitting 1932 film adaptation from Warner Bros. This book traces the making and influence of the film—which launched a string of imitators—and the Burns brothers’ efforts to obtain a pardon for Robert, which never came.","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Company, Incorporated Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159021043952,"sku":"9781476626789","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781476626789_p0.jpg?v=1763608971","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781476626789","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
