Description

"You know of course that Distribution can sometimes be quite a headache"

TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, Paramount Pictures Corporation letterhead, February 11, 1952. Letter to movie critic W. Ward Marsh of the Cleveland Plain Dealer regarding a pilot program, in part: “If you can manage to achieve the same success [of “pilot courses”] on a national scale…then there is little doubt that you will have done the motion picture industry and the public a great service…You know of course that Distribution can sometimes be quite a headache…the ‘competent local critic’…will have to be very carefully chosen—not only from a point of view of his knowledge, but also of his personality and ability to ‘think on his feet’…anything I can do to help you, will be done.” In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope.
