Oscar-nominated film director (1900–1993) known for his classics How to Marry a Millionaire and Johnny Belinda. TLS signed “Jean,” one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, August 7, 1952. Letter to producer Edwin H. Knopf. In full: “Isn’t it enough that you spoil me with a great script, wonderful cast, superb cooperation, understanding and fatherly help?…Do you have to haunt me after dinner, too, with my groans of satisfied delight as I enjoy your cigars! One smoke curled as a heart outline… well, what else!” In fine condition, with subtle toning to top. The letter must refer to Scandal at Scourie, directed by Negulesco and released in 1953, as it was the only one of Negulesco’s films produced by Knopf. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
