‎Dossier des fiches du jury remplies par Raymond Queneau pour le Festival de Cannes de 1952 - et résultats autographes des scrutins • File of the jury score sheets completed by Raymond Queneau for the 1952 Cannes Film Festival — with autograph voting results‎

‎Cannes 1952. Fine. Queneau's Awards List Cannes 1952 20.90 x 27 cm 90 feuillets File of jury sheets completed by Raymond Queneau for the 1952 Cannes Film Festival comprising 90 leaves almost all filled in by his hand. Only one film is unfortunately missing Dans la tempête Arashi no naka no hara by Kiyoshi Saeki; otherwise the set is complete with reviews of all 35 feature films and 50 short films in the official competition that year. Included as well are 4 pages in pencil and one page in ink of autograph notes recording the results of every vote for all prizes awarded. An entertaining collection of Raymond Queneau’s reviews as a member of the Cannes jury. These sheets capture the writer’s sharp or enthusiastic impressions as he viewed the films. The year 1952 marked the fifth edition of the young Cannes Film Festival presided over by Maurice Genevoix. The Grand Prize was awarded to two films Deux sous d'espoir Due soldi di speranza by Renato Castellani and Othello by Orson Welles. On the sheet for the latter Queneau’s opinion is unequivocal: ""Number one"". As for Castellani’s film the critic is ecstatic: ""enfin ! du cinéma - intelligent vivant humain. Deux ou trois passages ont de la grandeur. Et ce n'est pas prétentieux."" He judged its leading actress Maria Fiore ""épatante"". On the French side Fanfan la Tulipe was in competition and Queneau was harsh: ""ça aurait pu être un film agréable mais le dialogue gâche tout."" Gina Lollobrigida was ""quelconque"" and Gérard Philippe ""pas bon cette fois-ci"". The film nevertheless received the prize for Best Director. He found Marlon Brando who would be awarded Best Actor ""T.B."" in Viva Zapata by Elia Kazan. One of his undisputed favorites was Le Medium by Gian-Carlo Menotti which he described as ""EPATANT/ un film ! un opéra ! saisissant ! poignant !"" and which won the Prize for Best Lyric Film. Queneau also noted over four pages the voting results of the jury in each category. They reveal that the two winning films Deux sous d'espoir Due soldi di speranza by Renato Castellani and Othello by Orson Welles each received 18 votes after no fewer than six ballots. André Cayatte was awarded a special prize for Nous sommes tous des assassins in the out-of-competition category by a margin of just one vote. Queneau’s tallies also show the overwhelming support of the jury for Hollywood stars Lee Grant and Marlon Brando who respectively won the acting awards for Detective Story and Viva Zapata! A valuable record of the behind-the-scenes workings of one of the very first Cannes Film Festivals in the hand of one of the greatest French writers of the twentieth century. unknown‎

‎Le diable au corps‎

‎Paris: Grasset 1923. Fine. Grasset Paris 1923 12 x 19 cm relié First edition one advance service de presse copy. Handsome autograph inscription from Raymond Radiguet to Léon Daudet: « A monsieur Léon Daudet avec ma profonde admiration. » Raymond Radiguet fait la connaissance de Léon Daudet par l'entremise de son frère Lucien Daudet très lié à Jean Cocteau depuis sa jeunesse. Radiguet avait nourri pour Léon Daudet alors député de Paris et membre de l'Action française une fervente admiration qui s'était muée très peu de temps avant son propre décès en critique acerbe. L'origine de ce brusque revirement se trouve dans le scandale provoqué par le suicide du fils de Léon Daudet Philippe en novembre 1923 : le député pour sauver son honneur soutient la thèse d'un assassinat politique par des membres de la Sûreté Générale à qui il reproche leurs idées républicaines. Radiguet touché par la mort de l'adolescent est révolté par l'attitude du père et dans un mouvement d'humeur écrit dans son journal : « Léon Daudet. Il est trop protégé par la République. Le déploiement de forces fait autour de lui non par les Camelots du Roi mais par le Gouvernement. Son assassinat serait peut-être deuil national mais n'attristerait pas beaucoup ni profondément. Ce qui fait que je ne l'aime plus c'est qu'on l'aime trop c'est qu'il est comme les autres hommes politiques - un peu mieux oui - Léon Daudet c'est la Troisième République. Charles Maurras est mieux quoique pas admirable mais s'il est vulgaire sa vulgarité est d'une époque antérieure à celle de Léon Daudet. » RD Œuvres complètes Paris 1993. Rare témoignage de l'admiration juvénile de Raymond Radiguet pour le maurassien Léon Daudet. Grasset unknown‎
