Noted film director (1910–1992) of such classics as Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, The Magnificent Seven, and The Great Escape. TLS, one page, 7.25 x 10.75, personal letterhead, June 13, 1972. Letter to Ella Smith at the University of Connecticut Department of Dramatic Arts regarding Barbara Stanwyck, whose nickname was Missy. In part: “Please add me to what I am sure is the huge list of Missy’s admirers. Making a picture with her is such a stimulating and productive experience, it’s hard to think how it could be better. Energy, optimism, an aggressive will to make things work, talent, total professionalism and with it all a disarmingly friendly and un-self important quality. In the relationship between actress and director, what else could you ask?” In fine condition, with a horizontal fold passing through signature. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
