Description

8vo., First Edition, text in French, with 62 pages of full-page photographs from the film; grey tweed boards, upper board with mounted photograph [of Maria Casares] lettered in red, backstrip lettered in black, a near fine copy. A PRESENTATION COPY FROM THE AUTHOR TO LOUIS PAUWELS WITH THE FORMER'S SIGNED HOLOGRAPH INSCRIPTION ON HALF-TITLE. With two copies of Rocher's flier, printed in pink and black and listing Cocteau' available works, loosely inserted. 'Le Testament d'Orphee' (1959) is the third film in Cocteau's Orphic trilogy, following 'Blood of a Poet' (1930) and 'Orphee' (1950). In addition to the author himself, the cast includes many leading theatrical and literary figures of the period, including Jean-Pierre Leaud, Maria Casares, Francoise Arnoul, Yul Brynner, Claudine Augier, Pablo Picasso, Charles Aznavour and Jean Marais. The screenplay with stills was published two years later; this copy is inscribed by Cocteau ('Jean') to Louis Pauwels, the eminent French journalist and author of 'The Morning of the Magicians' (1960). SIGNED COPIES ARE EXTREMELY SCARCE.
