Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Tay Garnett (1894-1977) was one of the great American film directors of Hollywood's Golden Age. His six-decade career spanned silents for Mack Sennett, Hal Roach and Pathé, to major studio blockbusters like China Seas (1935), Mrs. Parkington (1944), A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1949), and the MGM film noir masterpiece, The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946). At the end of his career, he set out compiling views on directing from the greatest in the American film industry and international cinema. This collection of correspondence and books was assembled by him in the course of research. His book, "Directing: Learn from the Masters" (Scarecrow Press, 1996), published posthumously, ultimately presented the views of 43 of the world's greatest directors. In the mid 1970s, Garnett sent a questionnaire of 21 key questions about the specifics of film directing and their careers to directors around the world. The correspondence, dated between 1974 and 1977, consists of the following: 1 page TLS from ELIA KAZAN; 5 page TLS from ELIA KAZAN responding to the questionnaire in detail; TLS from director Leopoldo Torre Nilson; 1 page TLS from LOUIS MALLE; 1 page TLS from ALAIN RESNAIS; 1 page TLS from BRYAN FORBES; 2 page TLS with handwritten annotations from DINO RISI; 1 page ANS from ALLAN DWAN; four, 1-page TLSs from FRANCOIS TRUFFAUT, who authored the preface to Garnett's book; two, 1 page TLSs from RENE CLAIR; 2 page TLS from FRED ZINNEMAN; 1 page ANS from Mary Walsh, wife of RAOUL WALSH; five, 1 page ALSs and one, 2 page ALS from ALBERTO LATTUADA (who advises the best address for Fellini ".in the middle of work on 'Casanova'."). Also included are carbon copies of Garnett's letter requesting participation in the project to Clair, Truffaut, Lattauda, Stanley Kubrik, Luchino Visconti, Franco Zefferelli, Claude Lelouche and business letters to prospective publishers. The books consist of 17 titles by or about 14 directors, each inscribed by the director to the Garnett. LUIS BUNUEL inscribed "Luis Bunuel" by Raymond Durgnat (University of California Press, 1968, trade paperback). FRANK CAPRA inscribed his autobiography "Frank Capra - The Name Above the Title" (Macmillan, 1971) ". with fond memories of . those cockeyed Mac Sennett days.". RENE CLAIR inscribed, in French, his own book "Cinema Yesterday and Today" (Dover, 1977, trade paperback). GEORGE CUKOR inscribed Gavin Lambert's biography of him "On Cukor" (W. H. Allan, 1973). ALAN DWAN inscribed "Allan Dwan - The Last Pioneer" by Peter Bogdanovitch (Praeger Film Library, softcover, 1968). HOWARD HAWKS inscribed "Focus on Howard Hawks" edited by Joseph McBride (Prentice Hall, 1972, trade paperback). ELIA KAZAN inscribed "Kazan on Kazan" by Michel Clement (Viking Press, 1974). ALBERTO LATTUADA inscribed three books: F.M. de Sanctis' "Alberto Lattuada - Premier Plan" (Revue Mensuelle De Cinema, circa1965, paperback), Edoarda Bruno's "Lattuuda o la Proosta Ambigue" ( Luglio, 1968, paperback), and Angelo Zanallato's "L'uomo (Cattiva Sorte): Il Cinema di Lattuada" (Livania, 1973, trade paperback). MERVYN LEROY inscribed his autobiography "Mervyn LeRoy; Take One" (Hawthorne Books, 1974) - "for Tay, whose 'take one' was always his best, and so was his last." KING VIDOR inscribed his own book "King Vidor on Film Making" (David McKay, 1972). RAOUL WALSH inscribed his own book "Each Man in His Time" (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1974) - ". my good old pal in the golden days of Hollywood.". WILLIAM WYLER inscribed his autobiography. Taped-in is a ANS from Wyler. Most books are hardcover first editions unless otherwise noted, in used but presentable dustjackets. In addition, there are 42 titles from Garnett's personal library inscribed to him by a wide range of authors and screenwriters - like Tommy Thompson - and Hollywood celebrities - like Joan Blondell.

Shopbeschreibung

Johnnycake Books trades in rare and collectible books of most kinds, principally in fields of literature, illustrated, childrens, architecture/design, gardening and photography. We try to offer books that are a little unusual, offbeat and unexpected: most have a strong visual or design appeal. Our descriptions present our inventory as creatively and colorfully as possible, with occassional editorial commentary. We regard condition of our books as critical to our service: most are very good or better, in collectible condition. We are generally conservative in describing a book, even if that means it doesn't sound as good as it actually might be. We welcome your comments directly at johnnycake@snet.net or visit our website www.johnnycakebooks.com. Best wishes in your book collecting. Dan Dwyer…
