Draft TLS signed “George,” three pages, 8.5 x 11, no date. A letter to producer Darryl Zanuck about an upcoming project (which apparently never came to fruition). In part: “I cannot tell you what stimulation and help my trip to New York has been for me, and I think for John De Cuir, the Art Director—and I am sure that our sets will have much more flavor and authenticity as a result of our research there. Also, I hope we have devised economical methods both in the sets and in shooting that will in no way impair the quality of the picture; in fact, in my opinion will give it more scope and style.” He goes on to discuss screen tests and casting possibilities, mentioning Susan Hayward and Michael Rennie, among others. Moderate uniform toning, a few pencil notations and corrections throughout, and a paperclip impression to the top edge, otherwise fine condition. Cukor never ended up working with Rennie or Hayward despite his long career, but it is interesting to ponder what might have been. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
