MOGUY LEONIDE: (1899-1976) - MOGUY LEONIDE: (1899-1976) French-Italian film Director of Ukranian origine., Screenwriter and film Editor. His work has influenced American director Quentin Tarantino, who discovered him while writing the script for Inglourious Basterds, and named a character after him in Djano Unchained which was performed by Dennis Christopher. A good and scarce A.L.S., ` Léonide Moguy´, one page, 4to, written from the clinique Valdunt, 19th November 1967, to François, in French. Moguy states ` J´ai beaucoup regretté ton absence le 6 Novembre à l´Unesco. Je n´oublie que tu étais parmi mes premiers supporteurs. Tu dois voir le film. J´espère quitter bientôt la clinique et je te téléphonerai.´ (Translation: ” I really missed your absence on November 6th at UNESCO. I remember that you were among my first supporters. You must see the film. I hope to leave the clinic soon and I will call you.”) Moguy probably refers to his 1961 French film Man Wants to Live, known as Les Hommes Veulent Vivre. VG
