A wonderful association copy inscribed to American film director Sidney Lumet by Czech film director Jaromil Jires on the title page: "NY february 87 / To Mr. Sidney Lumet with [love: here Jires draws the heart used in the New York promotional campaign] Jaromil Jires / PS I understand well your love to New York City, because I feel the same to Prague".

Jaromil Jires [1935-2001] wrote and directed the West German documentary "Sidney Lumet: I Love New York" in 1987--the date of this inscription. In his own country in the 1960s, Jires was often in conflict with the censors, which limited his output. Among his productions were "The Cry", entered in the 1964 Cannes Film Festivsl,and "The Joke", adapted from Milan Kundera's novel. He was associated with the Czechoslovak New Wave movement. Good .
