TLS signed “Alfred J. Hitchcock,” one page, 6.5 x 8.5, Paramount Pictures Corporation letterhead, September 20, 1957. Letter to Albert Haas. In part: “Please set aside one case of the 1890 Chateau Lafite-Rothschild Wine for a friend of mine, Mr. Samuel Taylor. Naturally, this should be charged to me.” In fine condition, with toning and staple holes to the top edge. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. Taylor had just recently finished writing the screenplay for Vertigo, one of Hitchock’s greatest films, at the time he received this letter—the final shooting script was approved on September 12, and filming began on September 19. As such, this very expensive case of wine must have been a gift from Hitchcock for completing the script. An extraordinary association between the two driving forces behind Hitchcock’s classic.
