Item description from seller

- A letter penned in dark blue ink filling a little more than one side of a sheet of Anne Jackson Wallach's blue, 10-1/2 inch high by 7-1/4 inch wide, personalized letterhead. There are a few light ink smudges to the letter with a small ink blot & red pencil notation at top right. Folded twice for mailing. Stapled to the letter is a carbon copy of a note about publishing part of the letter. Very good. Anne Jackson Wallach and Eli Wallach were American film, television and stage actors who often co-starred on and off Broadway. They were one of the best known acting couples in American theatre.This is a splendidly impassioned letter addressed to Dick Ficks attacking a Saturday Evening Post article by James Atwater, which hashed over at length the failure of "Has Anybody Here Seen Kelly?", produced by Joseph E. Levine and David Susskind. The production ran one night and lost $650,000. "What earthly good does it do to rehash mistakes and place blame? Those of us who work in the theater know the odds when we sign contracts. Nobody sets out to fail. The most knowledgeable practitioners goof.Much more loot is invested in oil wells which are dry.trips to the moon which never come off.and wars which never pay off.why advertise the figures for a play which bombs?"The attached note is from a Post letters editor to LUV Press expressing her appreciation for the Wallachs giving permission to publish part of their letter. The Saturday Evening Post article appeared in the April 24, 1965 issue.…
