Gérard OURY (1919.2006)

Signed autograph letter.

A page in-4° on letterhead from his house Les Oliviers .

St. Tropez. July 29, 1998.

Very beautiful letter from the French director evoking a manuscript by Stravinsky dedicated to Raoul Dufy.

“Miss, Your letter delighted me here where I am preparing my next film which I will start shooting on October 6 . I have, in fact, here the musical scope dedicated by Stravinsky to Raoul Dufy. Attached to it, in the Master's hand, is an authorization allowing Marcelle Oury to publish these few notes, if she saw fit to do so. As I am currently swamped with work, it would be best if we could chat for a few moments on the phone. Please send me the number where I can reach you at the address at the top of this letter and I will call you. Thank you and good luck to you… Gérard Oury »

Oury discusses here the preparation of his latest film Le Schpountz , a comedy released in theaters in the summer of 1999.
