‎Autograph letter signed from Francois Truffaut to Alfred Hitchcock regarding "Le cinema selon Hitchcock" "Hitchcock/Truffaut" circa 1966‎

‎N.p.: N.p. 1966. Autograph letter signed from Francois Truffaut to Alfred Hitchcock on Truffaut's personal letterhead circa 1966 on many issues but mostly regarding the reception to the French publication of the pair's landmark book "Le cinema selon Hitchcock" published the following year in the US as "Truffaut/Hitchcock". In French.<br/><br/>A meaty enthusiastic celebratory letter broadly discussing the success of Truffaut's groundbreaking 1966 book "Le Cinema selon Alfred Hitchcock" its release in English and their respective film projects. Truffaut opens the letter by noting that he has heard news of Hitchcock working on the screenplay for his 51st film "Topaz" released in 1969 and congratulates the director on the effort. <br/><br/>He quickly shifts to descriptions of the reception of their book in France favored with unilaterally good reviews: "elogieux tous sans exception" "laudatory all without exception" save what some saw as the book's excessive price-50 francs or approximately $10. Truffaut also addresses the forthcoming English and American editions of the book reassuring Hitchcock that he will be able to take a last look at the translation before publication. Regarding the English edition Truffaut notes he has made good progress with publishers Secker and Warburg including a profitable advance guarantee of 3000 pounds more than double the amount offered by American publisher Simon and Schuster. <br/><br/>As a result of the book's publication Truffaut registers a recent proliferation of Hitchcock film festivals in Paris and the French countryside but notes that Paramount appears to no longer rent Hitchcock's older films including "Rear Window" "Vertigo" and "Psycho" to distributors in France and expresses his hope that the films have not been removed from circulation in Europe. <br/><br/>Truffaut also succinctly describes his latest film "The Bride Wore Black" stating that filming will begin at the end of May in Cannes and offering to send the English translation of the script to Hitchcock. Tangential to this Truffaut mentions that he is taking another round of English classes "car je ne desespere pas d'avoir un jour une conversation directe avec vous" "because I haven't given up on having a direct conversation with you one day" in spite of the helpful mediation of their shared interpreter Helen Scott. <br/><br/>Truffaut closes the letter with a heartfelt tribute to Hitchcock: "Lorsque le livre a ete fini et que je l'ai vu imprime j'ai ressenti le meme sentiment de vide et la meme tristesse que lorsqu'on livre au public un film acheve. J'avais vecu plus de quatre ans avec et comme il s'agit de vos propros et de vos idees sur le cinema je peux dire qu'il s'agit la pour moi du meilleur livre de cinema avec les ecrits d'Eisenstein" "When the book was finished and I saw it in print I felt the same mixture of sadness and emptiness as when a completed film is released. I'd lived with the book for over four years and since it is about your words and ideas regarding film I can say that to me it is the best book about film ever written alongside the writings of Eisenstein". <br/><br/>"Hitchcock/Truffaut" remains the definitive study of Hitchcock's method a transcription of a series of interviews held by Truffaut in 1966 covering in depth every film made by Hitchcock up through "Torn Curtain" and ultimately revealing the importance of Hitchcock and Truffaut alike as evenly matched auteurs and pioneers of cinema. Altogether the letter presents a detailed and warm look into the beautiful friendship between two giants of twentieth century film.<br/><br/>Eight leaves. Varying sizes. Fine. N.p. unknown books‎
