Versatile and durable director who helmed such classics as Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Dirty Harry, and John Wayne’s final film, The Shootist. Siegel was singled out by Clint Eastwood as one of his most important directorial influences. TLS, one page, 8 x 10, Solar Productions, Inc. letterhead, October 20, 1977. Brief rejection letter to Roger Savin. In full: “Thank you for letting me read The Alpine Patrol. I’m sorry it didn’t interest me.” In fine condition, with some light edge toning from previous display and a trimmed right edge.
