Darryl Zanuck Telegram Re Seven Year Itch Number

First Time To Auction

20th Century Studios, 1955. Typed telegram on 8.25 x 6 in. Western Union form dated Jan. 10,1955 and reading in part: "Dear Darryl: Wish you would reconsider your decision regarding Marilyn doing the Itch sound number at end of film. Discussed this again with Billy at great length yesterday and we are both definitely in accord that if she sang this song so that the song would definitely be identified with the picture it would be as important to the film as Three Coins in the Fountain. Feel certain after talks with the composers that we would get the same kind of coverage from important singers as your company received with Three Coins and that it would enormously help the box office potential of the film like Three Coins, High and Mighty. Etc. Billy will be happy to shoot it and I am sure after the girl has had two days or so of rehearsal, that the cost would be negligible..." Retaining 2-hole punches at the top and exhibiting minor edge toning. In overall vintage very good to fine condition.
