Says to take a letter to [unidentified] indicating that he (Wanger) has received the person's letter on 10/26/1961 and if he wishes to communicate further he can. Wants a letter written to William Sachs thanking him for his letter and that even if he hasn't yet received the $20 million he would be happy to hear back from him. Letter to Steve Brody thanking him for his letter and regarding Joe Mankiewicz: he is a resident of New York so there is no use approaching him regarding the "drive"? Wanger says he is a non-resident at the moment and in order to establish his foreign status he isn't making any American contributions, but tells recipient to leave out the last part. Says the picture is going very well, despite many problems. Thinks it will be a tremendous attraction. Note to Alex talking about how he was very nice in San Diego and that he had disposed of his house about a year and a half prior. Thanks Ms. Fitch(?) for her letter. Mentions the picture, says he thinks it’ll be great and the cast is superb. Talks about payments of some sort, then mentions charges to Fox. Addresses Ms. Raimondo in London thanking her for her letter. Goes on about the fire that burnt down his house. Says Shelley is not with him in Rome, but with her mother in New York. Steph is in France. Doesn’t know how much longer he will be in Rome or if he will move to London after, depends on whether or not he can make arrangements with the landlady. Letter to Harry Brandt(?) at 20th century fox. Says they have 5,000 stills so far and they and the cast are tremendous. Weather has been holding up the production. Morale is great on the set, and Wanger thinks the scenes are playing beautifully. Thinks if things keep up the way they are going that they will end up with the greatest attraction of all time.

Talks about how South Pacific (film) has already made $22-23 million as a musical film even after it was said that no one wants musicals anymore and that a $10 million budget is absurd and impossible for Cleopatra. Says that with a cast/campaign like they have it should make 3 times as much as South Pacific and the company will get $20 million back in distribution alone. Thinks they should be more worried about selling the film instead of trying to correct morale by making cuts which aren't bright for that time. Admits money has been wasted during the planning due to the pressure surrounding the film. Says there is a lot of interest in the public surrounding the film with the Queen of Denmark, King of Sweden and the Infanta of Spain having already requested to see it.

Scope and Content Note: Note #1: Says he has spoken to John Mather(?) and has arranged for you(?) to meet with him to discuss the possibility of making a picture with Marilyn [Monroe?]. Note #2: appointment on Monday at noon with Monaco at his office. Note #3: Regarding treatment illicit; thinks their current work is the basis for a very excellent entertainment and that if properly done the picture should succeed all over the world. Sees no reason for changing the local of the picture from Greece to Italy, as he sees enormous interest in Greece and the shipping tycoons. Says there are quite a few things that worry him about the treatment of the picture. First thing is the business and he thinks that the Americans treated him in a very old-fashioned manner, and thinks the business background should be made more intelligent and human in order to match with the Greek partners. Feels that the characters are not developed by what happens to them, which seems obligatory; they are the same in the end as they were in the beginning. Thinks it’s important in order to justify the break between the couple; the girl blossoms mentally and physically on her travels abroad. Says this is logical and will be a great interest to all American woman who "just look at television and lean over a washing machine" and that there is a great fascination in the first trip to Europe and it usually has a telling effect on the individual. Says the wife in the beginning is a very different woman after she meets Hercules and has seen all of the beauties, luxuries, manners and culture of Europe. Thinks this is the pivot from making this picture more than a one-gag comedy. Thinks Hercules is much too smart and has too much experience with women not to expect something, doesn't want him to be more suspicious than he is. Thinks the husband’s sacrifice of his wife for his business success is something that can be deftly handled and should allow for many good comedy situations and some dramatic ones. Says there should also be a great suspicion on the husband’s part that he has a real competitor in Hercules and how he can cope with him. Can see possibilities of the husband ending up with the other girl who is also an adventurous European type. Objects to the undramatic way Hercules sulks and leaves after he finds the husband coming out of the bedroom. Thinks Hercules would be much more skillful in his plan to get this girl. Thinks they have all the ingredients for a hit, a roman holiday only with more substance. Thinks the script needs to be well-developed. Asks Mrs. Van Buren to find out what time the film that was taken yesterday will be ready. Tells her to take a note to Julia [unidentified] regarding the policing of photographers and press for the shooting of the procession so as to make sure there are no problems.

Scope and Content Note: Letter to Levathes in LA: Hopes he knows how constructive his visit to Rome was and was sorry to see him go. Regarding his telephone call to him (Levathes) about the Warner contract, all demands that Warner objected to were dropped because of the good terms of the contract. However he (Wanger) is not certain Warner isn't trying to get out of the deal. Says Eddie has the option on the Gouffe case. Kurt Fring has called him (Wanger) to set up a deal for Audrey Hepburn to be in "Justine". John Maither called him (Wanger) from Paris the night prior. Says he (Maither) found a book he wants to play, but that he needs Marilyn Monroe to be in it. Says the biggest hitch is that the picture couldn't be done before next spring as there is no script. Says he gave Levathes the wrong name of the book, it is actually called "Catch 22". Says Joe Demiro(?) arrived the day prior and that he will be a tremendous help (he has been helping with all of the contract issues). Says there has been two days of no activities due to the rain, but that Joe has finally started on act and he (Wanger) thinks it will be easier than act 1. He (Wanger) and Joe had a good talk a few days prior and Joe was most receptive to it. Says he has talked with Charlie Townsend and Sid Rogell the matter of not putting so much responsibility on Kellogg’s and that Kellogg’s should just focus on acting. Wants to get things rolling with the procession scenes so they can cut the payroll as they are currently employing a lot of people in connection with the sequence and that after they can have a more compact organization for the picture. Says he is still concerned with the exteriors of Alexandria. After the procession scenes and Alexandria exteriors are done, they will be able to see the light. Everyone's morale is high on the artistic side and they think they will deliver the best picture ever. As they soon as they get more material underway they might be able to start selling tickets. Pressure for material from the press from all over the world continues. Wants Levathes to read a book that is comparable to Breakfast at Tiffany's, but although it is of the same genre it is no competition for it. Wants him to look for script writers in London to write a script as he thinks they are good at writing comedies.

Letter to Charles Feldman: Writing to let him know that he has seen about three quarters of an hour of Joe's first cut and it is "absolutely out of this world. It has depth, quality, great humor, wonderful dramatics and some of the best performances I have ever seen in my life". Thinks it should gross 100 million. Talks about going back to NYC to be with his family over the holidays. Couldn’t be more enthusiastic at the moment, not so sure how the company is feeling.

Wants the following to be added to a letter to john wolf: he has heard of a story that might interest jack clayton and if he (wolf) likes it then it could become a joint Italian/English project.

Scope and Content Note: Says memos (?) of January 10th were very helpful as they are now reorganizing the production set-up and appraising the whole Cleopatra project to a realistic completion date while Peter (Levathes) is there. The major priority is to get a script completed so they will soon be in a position to appraise the entire enterprise. It is essential to accelerate the shooting of the film with a 2nd unit filming. Shortly they hope to present a schedule of activities for the second unit. A 3rd unit might even be needed. At this time the question of length should be reviewed due to the universal criticism of the length of Ben-Hur, Exodus and Spartacus, they should aim for the 3 hours and Pete confirms this as an ideal length. If this is to be the length they must eliminate the telescope scenes in the script. At their current rate the final cut would be 6 hours. We know that time is our biggest problem. Certain cuts will be made to the script for scenes 6/7. Same goes for scene 29 and 8. *continues talking about which cuts will be made to the script*. Regarding shooting time, if you have a properly organized day you can shoot 2.5 pages with ease, but this has not been the case up to date. the removal of non-obligatory scenes, optimization of time, the use of a 2nd unit and the 1st unit doing 2.5 pages/day is the only way to be finished shooting in Rome by mid-April. *New heading* Unanswered questions: We are still looking for locations, expect to have answers in the coming 10 days. IN his opinion, in consideration of the excitement/publicity surrounding the film, the opening will be disappointing for the audience. The only advantage is showing Antony. Is worried that the film will be jumpy and incoherent, suggests that it should start in Cleopatra's temple. Thinks Caesar’s introduction after Cleopatra would be much better and the only loss would be Antony's introduction. Goes on about various aspects of the film's scenes and his suggestions/plans for them (2nd unit projects, battle scenes, art department). Says going to Egypt for a few scenes is still a possibility.
