Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Director Truffaut's place in contemporary world cinema has been secured by such stunning films as The 400 Blows, Jules and Jim , and Day for Night . Truffaut, who never finished secondary school, was also a voluminous correspondent, and this chronological selection reveals his basic humanity, as he encourages others in the film industry, speaks lovingly of his children, and always, always talks of movies--his and others. Many of the letters are to the late Helen Scott (to whom the volume is dedicated); she was his close American friend who facilitated translation of Truffaut's famous interviews with Hitchcock. A fine supplement to other works on the director like Truffaut by Truffaut (Abrams, 1987).
