MASON (James, 1909-1984, Leading British Actor)

Autograph Letter signed 'James' to Adrian thanking him for sending him "leaflets re the sufferings of internees. Pam is still working on her book ... I have been ... filming at Welwyn during the daytimes and acting in the play at nights ... The film is the worst I have ever been involved in. It is all so farcical that I look forward to seeing you ... to regale you with comic anecdotes ...", 2 sides oblong 8vo., Little Bakkons, Beaconsfield, 22nd December

Possibly the film was 'Hatter's Castle' which is a 1942 British film noir based on the 1931 novel Hatter's Castle by A. J. Cronin, which dramatizes the ruin that befalls a Scottish hatter set on recapturing his imagined lost nobility. The film was made by Paramount British Pictures and stars Robert Newton, Deborah Kerr, James Mason, and Emlyn Williams. It is believed to be the only film that depicts the Tay Bridge disaster.
