ZANUCK, Daryl and WINCHELL, Walter.
Typed letter signed ("Daryl"), to columnist Walter Winchell, Beverly Hills, 17 May, 1951, on 20th Century Fox letterhead, with autograph notation by Winchell in pencil at top of the 1st leaf. 3 pages, quarto.
"IN NOBODY'S HIP POCKET"
In this lengthy letter, marked "Personal and Confidential", Zanuck is hurt by Winchell's unfair criticism, or would have us guess he is. "We have been friends for a good number of years... I got pleasure out of having you at the studio...I do not make a habit of having many 'close friends', Thus I do not like to lose the few I have. I have just read you column today on 'Fourteen Hours'. This is, to put it mildly, a very violent and severe attack on me as an individual." He goes on to refer to a specific unnamed picture for which he authorized a new ending apparently objected to by Winchell. "I felt justified in authorizing the new ending.. when in your article you say that... I need a manager to manage me.../...your friendship is very important to me. If anybody under any circumstances has indicated otherwise I would relish the opportunity of facing them..." To which Winchell noted for his own amusement "Rose I told him he was wrong, etc., I am in nobody's hip pocket." With portrait.
