[Mankiewicz, Joseph L. (1909 - 1993)] [Bellow, Saul. (1915-2005)] . Letter regarding a possible film of Augie March. An intriguing typed letter on Samuel Goldwyn Productions letterhead, April 25, 1955, written and signed by his secretary and on behalf of the American film director and screenwriter, noting that he is "currently deep into the film of GUYS AND DOLLS" but sends thanks "for your letter and your very kind and interesting remarks about his film, THE BAREFOOT CONTESSA" and had wanted to "thank you for bringing to his attention THE ADVENTURES OF AUGIE MARCH. He has read the book and is interested in it for a possible film." Folds, else fine. 

Saul Bellow's 1953 novel The Adventures of Augie March won the 1954 U.S. National Book Award for Fiction. 

American film director, screenwriter, and producer Mankiewicz had a long Hollywood career, and won both the Academy Award for Best Director and the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay in consecutive years for A Letter to Three Wives (1949) and All About Eve (1950), the latter of which was nominated for 14 Academy Awards and won six.  In 1953, Mankiewicz set up his own production company, Figaro and first production was The Barefoot Contessa (1954) which Mankiewicz wrote, produced and directed; it starred Humphrey Bogart and Ava Gardner. Sam Goldwyn hired him to write and direct the film version of the musical Guys and Dolls (1955). This was a huge hit but not highly regarded critically. Brando starred along with Frank Sinatra and Jean Simmons.
