Signed autograph letter.  

Two pages in-8° on paper with its letterhead. December 29 and 31, 1948

Marcel Pagnol entangled in some disagreements with his partners for the release of the film “ The Secret of the Iron Mask ”.

“ Marti, I received your letter. Bravo for Clermont. The Roux affair continues to annoy us. In short, we take 20,000 francs from our revenue for their benefit and give it to them. Why did Poiré accept? And Sallard? It is absolutely necessary to remove all reservations , so that this does not constitute a precedent. I'll give you the model of the letter. Without that, they can annoy us all over the world ! – December 31, 1948. I find that Dutru is very long. I don't want to rush the release of the film until the plans are redone. Call him every day. Look in the BM file for the letter from the Swiss recognizing the need for a new contract. Tell Ullmann to fuck them. I give BM in Switzerland at 25% with 20,000 frcs. Swiss creditors, and reimbursement of what they paid us, if they paid anything. They are cheeky! Affectionately Marcel. – Gala tomorrow, with Churchill, the Duke of Westminster, the Prince, and I am very worried! »
