    «Dearest Dr. Rossetti, we learn from Dr. Lombardo of Titanus, who has been in communication with our American representatives, that LA FIERA DEL CINEMA would be interested in publishing serial excerpts from THE LION’S SHARE, by Bosley Crowther [...]. Please let us know how many excerpts [...] you would like to publish». It was 1960 when the Director of the trade press La Fiera del Cinema (1959-1963) received this letter from the Agenzia Letteraria Internazionale (Ali): a leader in the foreign rights field. The fact that the Ali’s request is attributable to Lombardo and concerns Crowther’s history of «the inventions, artistic progress, commercial and social evolution of the cinema and the development and destiny of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer» (Crowther 1961) is quite significant. Published by Cronograph, an establishment aggregated to the Italian major, this house organ is the result of complex editorial strategies that hinged on the prestige of the company but were also complementary to the production guidelines promulgated by Lombard

    "Last Tango in Paris" novelization was written by Robert Alley and published by Garzanti in 1973. This novel, due to the infamous court case the film was involved in, has been often seen as an effort to fill any gap left by «the absence of the audio-visual text» (Mancino 2015). The novel, though, refers directly to the original American version of the film; therefore its «strongest aim» appears to involve further functions of «compensation» and «control» (Quaresima 2004), which are worth being explored
