Typescript of a tribute to Allan Dwan, two pages, 8.5 x 11, no date, signed at the conclusion in blue ballpoint by Cukor. In part: “I want to say a few words about Allan Dwan…Over a fifty year period, he directed more than 400 films—not to mention several hundred more that he either wrote, produced or supervised. Between 1911 and 1961, he directed every type of film—comedy, drama, war movie, documentary, western—you name it—and he did a damned fine job on every one…In fact, he was such a good director that when talkies came in, he became what no longer exists today, the studio contract director. A director on whom the studio could rely to direct whatever he was given with competence. Not an ‘arty’ director, but a sound and intelligent one.” In fine condition, with horizontal mailing folds. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
