Los Angeles: Carl Gottlieb, 1976. Original two-page typed letter signed to producer Fred Roos, from screenwriter Carl Gottlieb, on Gottlieb's letterhead, dated May 12, 1976.
Gottlieb, best known as the co-screenwriter (along with author Peter Benchley) for Steven Speilberg's "Jaws" (1975) writes cordially to Francis Ford Coppola's long-time producer Fred Roos, on location in the Philippines working on "Apocalypse Now," regarding the "Coppola Company's" [Zoetrope Studios] sponsorship on Gottlieb's unproduced project "My Country," which Gottlieb notes has been shopped to the major studios without commitment.
Gottlieb's letter also notes meeting Teri Garr and Richard Dreyfuss at Steven Speilberg's house "noodling" on the script for "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," a week prior to the commencement of shooting in Wyoming and Alabama.
An insightful look into the latter third of the New Hollywood Cinema era and the commencement of the "summer blockbuster" era.
7.25 x 10.5 inches. Near Fine, bound with a single staple to the top left corner, with two horizontal creases from mailing, and a two-hole punch at the top margin.
