Date Sold 6/19/2016Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Autographed Letter (measures 7 1/4" x 10 1/2"; 2 pages) (Learn More) Franklin J. Schaffner was an American director and producer from the 1940s to the 1980s. Some of his movies include: Planet of the Apes, Papillon, Islands in the Stream, and The Boys from Brazil. He passed away in 1989 at the age of 69. Important Added Info: Note that this item has been personally autographed (signed) by Franklin Schaffner! It is on a single page of Mr. Schaffner's stationery, but is handwritten on the entire front and back (see our images of both sides of the stationery). In it, Mr. Schaffner thanks David Mallery for his continuing praise for "Islands in the Stream", but he says that "the box office response hasn't been all we might have hoped for - the young crowd doesn't seem to have latched onto it -". He goes on to add that he has had more mail commenting on film than "any other project I've been involved with". Note that this letter comes from the estate of David Mallery. He was a professor of cinematography at Chestnut Hill College in Philadelphia, from the 1960s into the 1990s. He was a founding member of the AFI (American Film Institute), and a member of the Motion Picture Academy. He was a film critic who wrote many reviews for many publications, and hosted a TV show where he interviewed directors, actors, and others involved in the film industry. Over the years, he developed both working and close personal relationships with many actors, actresses, and directors, including Frank Capra, Charlton Heston and others. We are currently auctioning 24 letters from directors and actors to Mr. Mallery. Almost all of them are written "from one friend to another", and are in no way "stock" replies to "fan letters", and all are personally signed, and some are entirely or partially handwritten. Most have excellent content covering a wide range of subjects, and they are a fascinating glimpse into these celebrities' personal lives! Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
