Three old folds else fine. A warm and personal letter from Shahn's old friend and fellow FSA photographer including and commenting on two poems Locke has written: ".a bit of formal verse has crowded into my mind four-square.I'd not send you these trivia except as evidence that my heart is beating in some fashion.I'm inflicting the verses upon you not just because you encouraged me but because they are a sort of safety-valve. What an ancient square I am! I slip into a villanelle as though it were my own coat. Do you ever doodle with your brush" <br/><br/>Though his talents lay more in the realm of writing and editing than photography Edwin Locke worked for three years as Roy Stryker's main assistant at the FSA where in addition to editorial tasks he participated in a number of documentary photo shoots including an important collaboration with Walker Evans to document victims of the 1937 Arkansas Flood.

1963146288N.p.: The Landau Company 1963. Draft script for the 1968 film. <br/><br/>As early as 1950 there was talk of adapting Carson McCullers' 1940 debut novel "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter" for the screen. In 1963 producer David Susskind took over Jose Quintero's attempt at adapting the novel which began two years earlier with a script from British screenwriter Gavin Lambert. Susskind passed on Lambert's script opting for a script from Thomas C. Ryan.<br/><br/>Susskind planned to shoot the film in New York City with director Sidney Lumet but the project ended up being held up indefinitely. Four years later Marc Merson's Brownstone Productions had taken over the film rights with Thomas C. Ryan's original 1963 script and with Ryan co-producing. During filming Ryan and director Robert Ellis Miller would make extensive re-writes as they went.<br/><br/>One of the great film adaptations of any American novel starring Sondra Locke in her debut film opposite Alan Arkin. Although much of the political aspect of McCullers' novel was removed from the film the themes present in the author's work are readily apparent: race loneliness impoverishment and anger. Arkin and Locke were nominated for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actress Oscars. <br/><br/>Set in in a small Southern town shot on location in Selma Alabama.<br/><br/>Red titled vinyl Hart Stenographic Bureau wrappers.
