Importante lettre autographe signée adressée à Carlo Rim à propos d'un différend regardant le droit de propriété intellectuelle du film "Hercule"

Autograph letter signed by Raimu addressed from his Parisian home to Carlo Rim, 25 lines in black ink, assuring him of his support and providing his epistolary testimony, being unable to be physically present at a legal appointment concerning the film Hercule for which Carlo Rim claims authorship: "Je regrette de ne pouvoir me rendre en tant que témoin, à l'arbitrage que tu as solliciter (sic) de la société des auteurs. Mais ce que je puis te rappeler c'est que je connais Hercule depuis que je te connais toi même. Que tu m'as toujours parlé de ce film que tu me destinais d'ailleurs et que les évènements ne m'ont pas permis de tourner. Et surtout que tu m'as donné lecture de ton scénario sur ma demande à Jacques Feyder et à Loureau ... qui voulaient faire un film avec moi il y a 4 ans." ["I regret not being able to appear as a witness at the arbitration you have requested from the society of authors. But what I can remind you is that I have known Hercule since I have known you yourself. That you have always spoken to me about this film that you intended for me and that events did not allow me to shoot. And above all that you read me your screenplay at my request to Jacques Feyder and Loureau... who wanted to make a film with me 4 years ago."]
Carlo Rim appears to have won his case against director Jacques Feyder, certainly thanks to this letter from Raimu who had initially been chosen by Carlo Rim to create the eponymous role of Hercule.
The film, a satire of the Parisian press, would finally be released on March 5, 1938 and was jointly directed by Alexandre Esway and Carlo Rim with Fernandel as Hercule, and Gaby Morlay, Jules Berry and Pierre Brasseur in the main roles.
Central folds inherent to postal folding.
