Esteemed Austrian-American film director (1890–1976). Three TLSs to the film historian Lotte Eisner, two signed “Fritz Lang” and one signed “Fritz L.,” each one page, 8.5 x 11, Diana Productions, dated 1946–47. The first, in part: “Mr. Herbert Margolis…is primarily interested in (1) working out a kind of apprentice system in the motion picture industry whereby returning veterans could take advantage of the ‘GI Bill of Rights’…and (2) an international student exchange”; Lang also makes a few handwritten revisions to this letter. In the second, Lang offers to supply “stills of any of the productions I made in the United States.” The third, in part: “I am trying to find copies of the scripts and stills of both Scarlet Street and Woman in the Window for you. If I am successful, I will forward them. If not, I do have a few items in my files which you may find of interest, and I will send them on to you…I started shooting Secret Beyond the Door this week. Joan Bennett and Michael Redgrave are starred, and I think it will be an interesting picture. I am experimenting with using super-imposed sound for the ‘thought voices’ of the leading characters, and I find the idea intriguing to work out.” Intersecting folds and light scattered creases, otherwise overall fine condition. Accompanied by another letter from Lang’s secretary. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
