Cocteau poet and film producer will be clad in a green-faced uniform with a two-corner hat hiding his famous halo of thick whitening hair. As his urbane voice sprinkles witticisms on the 'immortals' his hand will be resting on a sword made by Cartier and decorated with an emerald a gift."

A writer for the National Observer declared that "of the artistic generation whose daring gave birth to Twentieth Century Art Cocteau came closest to being a Renaissance man." André Maurois 1885 - 1967 was a French novelist and biographer who wrote acclaimed biographies on Percy Bysshe Shelley Lord Byron Victor Hugo Marcel Proust and others. In his biographies he "combined documentary erudition and imagination to unfold the psychological development of his subjects" Jewish Virtual Library. . Signed. 1st Edition. Original Wraps.
