Eli Wallach Handwritten Letter. A handwritten response letter from Wallach to a fan, dated February 12, 2002, in which he discusses his performance in spaghetti Western classic The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. It reads in part: "Tuco was a challenge for me -- for beneath the veneer and the fun -- there was a serious misfit who made his way in the world by his wits. I thought the scene with my priestly brother (for me) was the best scene in the film for one could understand his wounded soul." Written in black ink on personal stationery and signed by Wallach, in Excellent condition. Included is the mailing envelope (Excellent with tearing to the top edge) and a postcard featuring the movie's poster. Accompanied by LOA from PSA/DNA.
