Henri LANGLOIS (1914-1977). L.A.S. and L.S., [late 1967?] and June 6, 1976, to Marc Allégret; 2 1/2 pages in-4.
We enclose 3 letters addressed to Marc Allégret

Langlois has just returned from New York and is aware of "your indignation at the deal that has been proposed to you [...] I must reflect, in today's particularly serious circumstances, before making a decision. [...] If I had had the slightest doubt about your friendship, I would have stayed in Paris instead of entrusting the film library to you. [Before his final dismissal on February 9, 1968, Henri Langlois, who was traveling, had left his place to vice-president Marc Allégret, who would also be ousted]. The typewritten letter, from 1976, summons him to the Ordinary General Meetings.
We enclose 3 letters addressed to Marc Allégret: 1964, l.s. from Léon Mathot delegating his powers as president; 25/11/67, l.a.s. from Ant. Bertrand, on behalf of Malraux, proposing the name of Skimasi for the board of directors of the Cinémathèque; May 25, 1970, l.s. from Jérôme Medrano, proposing to make a film about the family circus; a set of family photographs used to illustrate the book by G. P. Langlois and G. Myrent on Henri Langlois; an in-8 magazine from the Cinémathèque du gâtinais on Le Scandale de la cinémathèque (spring 1968) and an honorary citizen's card from the town of Lignières-en-Berry in Langlois's name.
