Description

Lengthy letter and Indiana Jones jacket—a gift from the director

ALS, four pages, St. James’s Club letterhead, no date but circa 1983–84. Thank-you letter to the manager of the Club, where Spielberg and crew spent six months editing Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. In part: “Before I leave for home I wanted to thank you for the special attention…This has been the warmest and most comfortable experience I have had in any country in Europe…Chef Wesphal is a rare talent. Please thank all of the night waiters for their excellent and prompt service. My laundry and dry cleaning was so efficient, it reminded me of my pre-teenage years when my mother would ‘pick-up’ after me with clean knickers and socks everyday…Anne, your receptionist, is a dream, I wish she worked for me. As a matter of fact I truly wish your entire club staff was part of my group…I would stay nowhere else.” Also includes an official Levi Strauss denim film crew jacket presented as a gift to the manager, size 42, with the film’s logo embroidered on the back. In fine condition, with creases and staple holes to the upper left corner; jacket appears to be unworn and in fine condition. Accompanied by a letter describing further details of Spielberg’s stay. A fantastic pair of items from the production of the popular franchise’s second film. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
