TLS signed “G. C. Marshall,” one page, 7 x 9, War Department letterhead, September 10, 1941. Letter to Lt. Colonel Darryl Zanuck. In part: “I signed a letter to you regarding your report to me of August 22d of the result of your survey of the problem of Training Films…I want to tell you informally that I was much impressed with the extent and thoroughness of your survey and the resume of your proposals…There is no question as to the value of the films and there is every necessity that this service be built up and handled in the most efficient manner possible.” In fine condition, with two punch holes to top edge and a couple of creases. Like other Hollywood studio heads, Zanuck was commissioned a Colonel in the Army Signal Corps and served until 1944. His 20th Century Fox Studio produced some of the greatest World War II films ever made, including The Longest Day and Twelve O’Clock High.
