Foreign Literature

Pardon my non-french! You are all forgiven, you strange strangers who delight us with your torrents of tongue, your lexicons of legend, your diamonds of idiom. Let us relish the ripeness of your rhetoric, the wild, unheard-of wonders you weave, told in the tongue of Shakespeare, Goethe, Li Po, Dante, Cervantes, Khayyam, Sappho - or in the translations of Gide, Nerval, Judith Gauthier, Rivarol, Oudin, Toussaint, or Renée Vivien!

"Hercule vaut Justin et vous pouvez croire que Jeannot et moi avons applaudi de bon coeur."

Signed autograph letter addressed to his friend Carlo Rim about the success of the film entitled Hercules, for which the latter is the screenwriter

Paris Mars 1938|15.50 x 17.50 cm|une feuille

⬨ 83437
Autograph letter, 33 lines in black ink on one leaf, signed by André Salmon congratulating his friend Carlo Rim on his screenplay for the film Hercule, directed by Alexandre Esway:
Fold marks inherent to mailing. In the upper right margin, Carlo Rim inscribed in pencil the date "Mars 1938" ["March 1938"], probably the date he received the letter.
"Cher Carlo Rim,
En vain ai-je espéré pouvoir vous féliciter un soir même d'un si grand et si légitime succès. Mais vous tardiez beaucoup, retenu sans doute par ceux qui ayant eu la chance de vous saisir les premiers ne vous lâchaient pas volontiers. Merci d'avoir offert la primeur d'Hercule, au spectateur solitaire de Justin, à Aix et à Toulon. Hercule vaut Justin et vous pouvez croire que Jeannot et moi avons applaudi de bon coeur. Je ne suis pas qualifié pour parler de technique. En revanche, je vous disais qu'il m'est impossible de suivre un film photographiquement parfait dont le thème est imbécile. C'est, m'a-t-on dit, ne pas aimer le cinéma. Hercule, me persuade du contraire. Si le cinéma est écriture, je veux qu'on écrive, comme dans les livres, les plus belles histoires du monde. J'aime que la trouvaille de l'esprit continue de dominer le gag. Exemple : le groupe Guirel. Trouvaille de l'esprit et non vulgaire gag. L'odeur d'imprimerie, est juste et bonne. Le texte est du bon Carlo Rim. Bravo, merci ! En l'espérance d'un : à bientôt ! Veuillez offrir notre souvenir à notre charmante femme et me croire, cher Carlo Rim, votre ami content de votre grand succès, André Salmon."
["Dear Carlo Rim, In vain have I hoped to be able to congratulate you one evening on such a great and legitimate success. But you were very late, probably detained by those who, having had the chance to get hold of you first, did not let you go willingly. Thank you for offering the preview of Hercule to the solitary spectator of Justin, in Aix and Toulon. Hercule is worth Justin and you can believe that Jeannot and I applauded heartily. I am not qualified to speak of technique. On the other hand, I told you that it is impossible for me to follow a photographically perfect film whose theme is stupid. That is, I was told, not loving cinema. Hercule convinces me of the contrary. If cinema is writing, I want people to write, as in books, the most beautiful stories in the world. I like the invention of the mind to continue to dominate the gag. Example: the Guirel group. Invention of the mind and not vulgar gag. The smell of printing is right and good. The text is good Carlo Rim. Bravo, thank you! In the hope of a: see you soon! Please offer our regards to our charming wife and believe me, dear Carlo Rim, your friend happy with your great success, André Salmon."]
Provenance: from the Carlo Rim collection, who was a Provençal writer, author notably of "Ma belle Marseille", a caricaturist, a filmmaker and friend of Fernandel, Raimu and Marcel Pagnol, as well as Max Jacob and André Salmon whom he met in Sanary.
