Acclaimed French filmmaker during the New Wave movement (1931–1990), who, unlike his fellow compatriots, chose to create visual landscapes inspired by fantasy, musicals, fairytales, and the glamour of classic Hollywood. Uncommon ALS signed “Jacques,” one page both sides, 8.25 x 11, personal letterhead, July 2, [1980]. Letter to a friend. In part: “I just finished a film for the French television based upon a beautiful novel by Colette, called ‘La naissance du jour.’ I think the English title is ‘The break of day.’ Taking place in Saint Tropez in 1928—Colette is played by Daniele Delorme. Do you remember her? She was famous in the fifties and she is a great actress. The man is Jean Sorel—very good looking fellow and talented also. And Dominique Sanda has a marvellous part. So. I was very happy to make a film again—sets and costumes are magnificent.” In fine condition, with some trivial red ink to the lower border. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
