TLS as president, one page, 6.75 x 8.75, White House letterhead, October 23, 1960. Letter to film director Clarence Brown, in full: "Freeman Gosden tells me that you were in the main responsible for the fact that we were able to obtain, for a showing here at George Allen's place last night, a print of 'Angels in the Outfield.' I am more than grateful to everyone who participated in what I understand was quite an operation to get the film here; I can only say that all of us who are Mr. Allen's guests enjoyed it greatly. Thank you personally for your helpfulness." In fine condition. Accompanied by the original White House mailing envelope.
The 1951 film Angels in the Outfield, directed by Clarence Brown and starring Paul Douglas and Janet Leigh, is a warmhearted baseball comedy about a gruff Pittsburgh Pirates manager whose fortunes change after a young orphan’s prayers bring angelic help to the team. Blending sports, fantasy, and sentiment, the movie uses its supernatural premise to explore faith, second chances, and emotional growth. Its charm comes from the contrast between baseball’s competitive world and the gentle belief that kindness and hope can transform even the hardest personalities. It was reportedly President Dwight D. Eisenhower's favorite film.
