Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Near Fine dj. First Edition. [no significant wear to book, just a teeny-tiny stain at the bottom right corner of the front cover; jacket slightly faded at spine, faint soiling to front panel]. Behind-the-scenes story of the production of the notorious Bob Guccione/ Penthouse feature CALIGULA, "by the young First Assistant Director who saw it all, did it all, and somehow lived to tell the tale. From the incredible start to the gory finish, from the shocking street scenes to the biggest orgies ever staged, it is the story of art surpassing reality. For in filming the story of Rome's most depraved Emperor who would do literally anything for thrills, the makers of CALIGULA created real scenes of horror, lust and depravity far exceeding anything the Roman Empire ever saw." Quite uncommon, this was apparently the only book ever issued by its publisher, and is of continuing interest as there are still people out there with the idea of "restoring" CALIGULA to reflect the original vision of its director, Tinto Brass.

First Edition. Laid in is an long Autograph Letter Signed from Gillio Pontecorvo written in Italian on printed stationery headed ÒCommunist Youth Federation of Italy ÐNational Constitutional Committee,Ó sent from Rome on March 20, 1949 to the film director Andrea Forzano. The letter is written in ink entirely in PontecorvoÕs hand, 25 lines on the front only, in well legible writing and with sprawling signature. ÒDear ForzanoÉ I happened to hear a few days ago that you, too, are a Ôcomrade,Õ and I thought that maybe you could help us. I am writing to you today in the name of the Communist Youth Federation to ask you to facilitate the realization of a documentary about the constitutional congress of the F.G.C.I. [Communist Youth Federation of Italy] which, as you probably know, will take place in Livorno from March 29 to April 2, with all the leadership members present.Ó After specifying that they have 400.000 lire at their disposal, he lists a series of technical requests of support. A complete English translation of the letter is included. An excellent original autograph document of the famous filmmaker and script-writer. Gillo Pontecorvo (1919-2006). Of Jewish background, Pontecorvo left Italy after the enactment of the Fascist racial laws and, in exile with his brother Bruno, famous nuclear physicist of the Via Panisperna group. Pontecorvo joined the communist party. He became a famous director working as assistant of Monicelli and Steno and in 1966 winning the Golden Lion at the International Cinema Festival in Venice with the film ÒThe Battle of Algiers.Ó Andrea Forzano (Viareggio, 1914-1992) director and screenwriter, was the son of the comedy-writer Gioacchino, who was among others PucciniÕs libretto writer. The document holds particular interest because it attests to PontecorvoÕs attention to the cinematographic world well over four years before his debut documentary in 1953, ÒMission Timiriazev.Ó The book is the complete scenario and interviews with director Gillo Pontecorvo and screenwriter Franco Solinas. The acclaimed film was a realistic, documentary-like recreation of the Algerian rebellion against the French. issued paperbound, this is one of the uncommon hardbound issue.
