It is most like likely that the film Clair references here is his, "A Nous La Liberte", released in the year of this letter, 1932.

"After accusing them of having done nothing to promote our music or launch our songs, I pretended that they alone were responsible for a situation which is at least as bad for them as ti is for us...you and I would certainly agree...that [Max} Eshig [music publisher] agree to pay us a 2,000 franc premium for each edited tune as mentioned in our contracts. And since there are still twenty to thirty pieces to ... the conversation did not go any further...." Clair signs in full, "Rene Clair."
