Key founder of Paramount Pictures and pioneering Hollywood producer (1880–1958). TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures letterhead, August 29, 1951. Lasky responds to Denison Clift, in part: “There is no doubt that you have real showmanship ideas in your play ‘Rayhanah.’ The subject matter should be extremely colorful and interesting and certainly as exciting as Twentieth Century’s production of ‘David and Bathsheba.’ It happens that I am just embarking on a picture that will take all of my time for a year and I, therefore, am not in a position to consider anything else for the present. I would recommend that you submit your play to the M.G.M. story department, and I wish it would be brought to Darryl Zanuck’s attention at Twentieth Century.” Intersecting folds, one passing through two letters of the crisp signature, light toning, and a few small staple marks at the top left corner, otherwise fine condition.
