TLS, one page both sides, 7.25 x 10.5, Oceana letterhead, November 27, 1959. Letter to Glen Laxton. In part: “The last L&H film was made in France, titled ‘UTOPIA’, sorry to say it was the worst we ever made. We had a lot of trouble on that one, due to language barrier—sickness etc. I was in hospital for eight weeks during the film, had a serious operation, dropped in weight from 170 lbs. to 114. Never thought I’d manage to finish the picture, it was really a nightmare for me…The John Wayne film you saw recently in which Hardy was in, was made in ’48. (released in ’49.) We had just returned from a European tour & Mr. Wayne being a good friend of Hardy requested him to appear alone in this film, so of course I had no objection as I badly needed a rest. After this film we both returned to Great Britain again. Incidently I never did see this film. Yes, Jimmy Finlayson was older than Hardy & I, I think about 8 years—we both were very fond of Jimmy—a great comic.” In good condition, with large tape repairs to separations and tears, trimmed edges, some small blocks of toning from old tape, and some light toning and tape over portion of signature. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope.
