Fantastic ALS signed “Audrey,” four onionskin pages, 8.25 x 10.75, St. Tropez, May 14, 1966. Letter to George Cukor from the set of Two for the Road. In part: “Am on location and it’s Sunday…a Sunday on location is always the quietest kind of Sunday (not for directors I know)…there are no responsibilities other than to REST…and that is the kind of day I like to write on…Am having a wonderful time on this movie…It is a perfect script, true, gentle, tender and funny. Stanley [Donen] reflects it, have never known him so happy, relaxed and at the same time stimulated. Albert Finney is a marvel…his ways remind me of Gary Cooper, genuine, quiet and wonderfully simple and a hilariously funny sense of humor. He is so easy and ‘cooperative’ as they call it that he makes even me look ‘uncooperative’!!…Mel is splendid and opens his Greco in Toledo next week in the presence of Juan Carlos, Princess Sophia, ministers, and other Spanish grandees!! in the lovely museum of Santa Cruz lit by candlelight.” In fine condition, with a rough top edge from notepad removal, trivially affecting the handwritten location, and a light paperclip impression to the upper left. Hepburn’s reaction to the script was right on—the film was nominated for the 1968 Oscar for Best Writing, Story and Screenplay. A marvelous and heartfelt letter—and one of the longest we have offered—from the lovely actress.
