ALS in German, signed “Fritz,” one page, lightly-lined both sides, 8.5 x 11, April 10, 1968. Letter to film historian Lotte H. Eisner, concerning the manuscript for his biography. In part (translated): "F. L. Book: I have now the Spies—and read the Woman in the Moon chapter. Spies was like I had expected—and unfortunately Woman in the Moon also (this regard, I am totally with what you wrote). It seemed to me to actually do more for the rocket and the flight to the moon than about the people, read: actors. It is incredible how you put life into the movies and my attitude toward each chapter will amount to several letters!” In fine condition, with light show-through from writing on reverse. Although not a financial success Woman on the Moon would be considered one of the first serious science fiction films, as the great director attempted to present the basics of rocket flight to the masses. Eisner’s comprehensive biography of Lang, which was not published until 1976, is widely regarded as the definitive book about the director. A fascinating letter enhanced by its cinematic content.
