[Paris]: Gallimard. Very Good. 1959. First Edition. Softcover. [light shelfwear, one tiny stain near top of front cover, small bit of damage to bottom front of spine]. (B&W photographs, added by previous owner) Five screenplays (in French) by Clair, with his introduction and notes on each: LE SILENCE EST D'OR; LA BEAUTÉ DU DIABLE; LES BELLES-DE-NUIT; LES GRANDES MANŒUVRES; PORTE DE LILAS. These make up the bulk of his postwar work.
