The letter from My Wilder is so beautiful. The man had genuine class and artistic wisdom: "I've just received the costume sketches. I'll tell you everything I think, without censoring, and you take from my opinion what you like. I assume that the designer took his impressions from the book and didn't know, naturally, who would be playing Willy. And I think, for a character in general, they're lovely sketches. ... What I don't like is the precise pin pointing in place and time as this costume does..." Nearly all of Mr Wilder's suggestions made it into the movie, except the hat-band color.
