FRITZ WILLY & BOB AND THE SUMMER OF '48

2005Best.-Nr. 15208FRITZ WILLY AND BOB AND THE SUMMER OF '48 Posthumous Press 2005 first edition as new in like pictorial dust-wrapper. 1/85 copies the total print run. This small volume reproduces the text of a letter which has never before been published anywhere about a hitherto unknown occurrence from the world renowned film director Fritz Lang to his very good friend and perhaps equally renowned rocket and space travel enthusiast Willy Ley. It's a most fascinating letter revealing for the first time that George Pal was not Heinlein's first choice as producer on this project and concerns events of the summer of 1948 when then a still maturing science fiction writer named Robert Heinlein visited Fritz Lang in the hopes of stimulating the esteemed film director to produce an accurate and technically correct film of a journey to the moon. What actually transpired between the two men at least from Mr. Lang's point of view makes fascinating reading if not only for the fact that such a meeting took place but also in an attempt to better understand the machinations of that marvelous and enigmatic wonderland of magic and nepotism we call Hollywood. The 85 copies produced have some intentional variations. As with the first Posthumous Press publication which is now available only through the antiquarian market place at a price more than 6 times the original it will not be reprinted.

TYPED LETTER FRAU IM MOND

1955Best.-Nr. 05614HISTORIC LETTER TYPED LETTERS between Willy Ley & Mrs. Fritz Lang the former dated 7-11-1955 one page over 200 words and SIGNED & the latter dated 7 -25 -1955 one page about 175 words and SIGNED respectively concerning the origin of "The Countdown" in rocket launches. It seems that in the former letter Ley realizes that the first time he encountered such a thing was in Lang's film FRAU IM MOND a silent film released in 1929. He writes to ask Lang if this was an original thought on his part. Mrs. Lang answers for her husband who is on vacation after many weeks work on NEWS IS MADE AT NIGHT in the affirmative!
