ALS, in pencil, in Russian, one page both sides, 7 x 14, no date. Letter to Lidia Iwanowna a costume maker for his film ‘Ivan.’ In part (translated): “Your letter contains a number of inaccuracies and errors.
1. Despite all of the conditions under which I work, I'm still not totally confused, so it can still decide for themselves without relying on suggestions from any quarter.
2. They puff on totally unfounded comments which I made to you by…extend the current problem to your entire two years of activities.
3. But then again you gloss over their own fault…It is a question that you have put me in the predicament of the film, which was slipped to me only the day before the shooting. That's the disgusting thing there is, even more so when I ordered them a week ago to bring order and to alter, not during the time of the shooting, nor on the eve…here it is not the slightest justification, and I had to film the bumbling Ivan in disgusting ways.
4. I was very surprised that you of the change in the collar of the foreigners did not have the lowest share of this business and still pass on to me, although I am without your work area, the head swells up enough already.
5. You my extremely benevolent attitude towards you know, but to whom much is given, from him shall be much required and the closer to me a man is, the more precise and careful he was to work …”
Intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature, a uniform shade of toning, and a bit of expected light soiling, otherwise fine condition. Ivan the Terrible was to be a two-part historical epic film about Ivan IV of Russia. Part 1 was released in 1944 but Part 2 was not released until 1958 due to political censorship. The films were originally planned as part of a trilogy, but Eisenstein died before filming of the third part could be finished. Outstanding film-related association between the seminal director and his troubled epic.
