TLS signed “Chuck,” one onionskin page, 7.75 x 10.5, personal letterhead, January 9, 1961. Letter to Mike Connolly of the Hollywood Reporter. In part: “The hottest tip I’ve got is a damn cold one: the weather. I now realize the rains in Spain stay mainly in that plain because they’d be solid ice in the mountains, where we’ve been shooting. The last time Sophia [Loren] worked on location (she has very little to do there, fortunately) was one of the coldest days I’ve ever seen, and I come from Michigan! Especially at seven in the morning, when we lined up the dawn shot that started the day’s work. A wind sharper than a Toledo blade knifed across the snow fields from Extremadura…it’s the first time I’ve ever seen horses buck in protest against working in the cold. My white stud, Babieca, was in a terrible temper, and Sophia was honestly unable to finish the day. Two extras, not quite so well-blanketed between takes as my horse and my leading lady, actually passed out from exposure, toppling off their horses with a tinkle of icy chain mail. The province where that weather came from was well named…‘Extremely tough’ is right! No wonder all the conquistadores came from there; they just wanted to get away from home!! After Extremadura, the Peruvian Andes, the Panamanian jungle, and the Arizona desert must have seemed like so many summer resorts.” Overall toning and slight soiling, a few notations, and a trimmed right edge, otherwise fine condition. At the time of writing, Heston was filming El Cid, co-starring with Sophia Loren.
