Letter by the Legendary Film Director Sir Alfred Hitchcock. New York, 1956
Letter with a nice, impressive signature in fountain pen by one of the greatest directors in history. Sent to Ed Sullivan's assistant and right-hand man with an apology from Hitchcock for not being able to attend the show's eighth birthday.
The letter was sent from Hitchcock's office at the Warner Brothers' studios to Carmine Santullo, who was staying at the time at the Hotel Delmonico in New York (which was later bought by Donald Trump and became Trump Park Avenue).
Sir Alfred Joseph Hitchcock (1899-1980) was a British film producer and director. He was considered one of the greatest film directors of all time. He was known as the "master of suspense and thrillers."
Ed Sullivan (1901-1974) was an American television broadcaster. He became famous during the 1950s-1960s.
