KARLOFF, BORIS. Original Typed Letter Signed by Boris Karloff to His Agent. July 5, 1957. Original Three Page Typed Letter Signed by Boris Karloff to his agent. Signed three times “Boris” at two postscripts and at the close. With several annotations and corrections in Karloff’s hand on all three pages. Dated “July 5/57” at the center top edge. Three pages, light blue onionskin typing paper, 8” x 10”. With three punch holes at the left margins and minor staple holes to the up left corners, else fine. Most of the letter concerns various filming timelines, scheduling issues, and concerns about tax complications. There is mention of a film he has been cast for which he refers to as “Stranglehold”, but which was made and later released in 1958 as The Haunted Strangler. The film was directed by Robert Day and co-starred Jean Kent, Anthony Dawson, Vera Day, Elizabeth Allan, and Tim Turner who is best remembered for his title role in The Invisible Man television series. Also mentioned is a Dracula film which, as it turned out, was never produced. This letter provides a window into the professional issues and concerns of the life and work of one of the most famous actors of all time, and whose work in James Whale’s Frankenstein (1931) has come to be the gold standard for the the role. He later went on to establish himself in that field with such iconic films as The Mummy, The Ghoul, The Bride of Frankenstein, and more.
