Stanley Kubrick autograph note signed beneath a typed letter from New York University physicist and friend of the director, Jeremy Bernstein. Bernstein wrote a famous profile of Kubrick as he was making ''2001: A Space Odyssey'' and here mentions the article's completion and run date. Dated 18 September 1966, Kubrick's response in red ink reads: ''Dear J., I think it sounds like Elizabeth Taylors cheesecake from Lindy. Please ship it. Thanks for the Vietnam piece. It sounds pretty grim. I'd like to see the sketch. I suppose you saw the Newsweek piece. I don't think it could have been less accurate. At least Arthur sounds dumb this time, 'I think there's another world out there, etc.''' Signed ''Stanley''. Arthur refers to Arthur C. Clark, the author of the short story upon which ''2001: A Space Odyssey'' was based, and with whom Kubrick wrote the screenplay. Letter on one page measures 8.5'' x 11''. Two horizontal folds, light toning and smudging to ink in spots. Very good condition.
