Description

"I am worried that my Playboy contract is not iron-clad enough. We have established that Bunny Logo all throughout this film"

TLS, one page, 5.25 x 8.5, Coppola Cinema Seven letterhead, March 14. Letter to Barry Hirsch, in full: "I am worried that my Playboy contract is not iron-clad enough. We have established that Bunny Logo all throughout this film, and if he were to for any reason, be offended by this picture, I want to be assured that our deal is ok. Please notify me directly Barry, I'm tired of Gray to other people telling me I don't have problems when I sense I do." In very good to fine condition, with scattered light creasing, and three file holes to the top edge. Accompanied by a color glossy 10 x 8 still showing a Playboy pinup in a scene from the movie. The memorable 'Hau Phat U.S.O. Bunny Show' sequence, shot on December 3, 1976, delivered Playboy Playmates Cyndi Wood, Linda Carpenter, and Colleen Camp to the set, and Playboy's famous logo appears throughout the sequence. This letter, documenting Coppola's intent to use the iconic symbol, is an important piece of pop culture history.
