Description

'In twenty-four hours I shall fly to India. I haven't slept for days and am full of cholera - paratyphus - and yellow fever shots, with the usual accompanying high temperature, and I haven't even packed!'

Prolific director of Metropolis, M, etc., best known for his cinematic visions of a world largely populated by criminals, psychopaths, prostitutes, and other maladjusted personalities. TLS signed 'Fritz L.,' one page, 8.5 x 11, April 23, 1961. Letter to Richard Gordon of Gordon Films concerning 'Assignment Angelina.' In part, 'In twenty-four hours I shall fly to India. I haven't slept for days and am full of cholera - paratyphus - and yellow fever shots, with the usual accompanying high temperature, and I haven't even packed!...As you are writing me that Emile is not going to Germany (contrary to carol Hellman's statement), please by all means go ahead in the way you suggest in your letter and try to come to an agreement with Carol, because I too think that once he is a partner in the deal he will ensure production set-up, even if it is not until 1962.' In fine condition. RRAuction COA.
