Correspondence with Alma Mahler and Franz Werfel, 1941-1958.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/155863040

Includes a signed copy of the contract for the dramatization of Der veruntreute Himmel and an unsigned copy of the one for Der Abituriententag. Correspondence in 1954 concerns the negotiation of film rights for Der veruntreute Himmel and includes a signed contract with Herzog Filmverleih. In a letter to the latter film company and to Bús-Fekete, Bermann Fischer raises the claim that his publishing firm had owned the film rights but drops any further objection to the making of the film; Guggenheim had played a role in this misunderstanding. The letter from Guggenheim, dated 1958, concerns an Austrian television production of Der veruntreute Himmel and the income due Alma Mahler.
