*ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS - REVENGE (1985) Revised Script SERIES FIRST EPISODE

Description: Vintage original revised final script from the classic 1980's crime drama/mystery thriller television series, ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS, from the series' first episode (Season 1, Episode 1), which was entitled, Revenge, in which the unstable, mousy wife (Linda Purl) of a good, caring man (David Clennon) becomes the victim of an unsolved assault. His blind outrage over this leads to a bizarre tragedy. This is a remake of the premier episode of Hitchcock Presents, which originally aired on October 2 1955, with Ralph Meeker, Vera Miles, Frances Bavier, and John Gallaudet. The cast includes Herbert Jefferson Jr., Frances Lee McCain, Beth Miller, and Victoria Ann Lewis. Written by David Stenn, this revised final script is initially dated June 5, 1985 with the last of three revisions dated July 18, 1985. The episode consists of two acts in 24 pages on yellow stock which were 3-hole punched and originally bound with two metal grommets between a cardstock front and back cover. A prior owner has removed the original covers and had the script spiral-bound with a white comb binding, a clear front cover, and a black back cover. It is in overall very fine condition with a 3 in. and 5 in. diagonal crease on the top right corner of the last two pages. Alfred Hitchcock Presents is an American television anthology series created, hosted, and produced by Alfred Hitchcock, and aired on CBS and NBC between 1955 and 1965. It features dramas, thrillers, and mysteries. Between 1962 and 1965, it was renamed The Alfred Hitchcock Hour. Hitchcock himself directed a relatively small number of episodes. By the time the show premiered on October 2, 1955, Hitchcock had been directing films for over three decades. Time magazine named Alfred Hitchcock Presents as one of "The 100 Best TV Shows of All Time." The Writers Guild of America ranked it #79 on their list of the 101 Best-Written TV Series, tying it with Monty Python's Flying Circus, Star Trek: The Next Generation and Upstairs, Downstairs. A series of literary anthologies with the running title Alfred Hitchcock Presents were issued to capitalize on the success of the television series. One volume, devoted to stories that censors would not allow to be adapted for broadcast, was entitled Alfred Hitchcock Presents: Stories They Wouldn't Let Me Do on TV — though eventually several of the stories collected therein were adapted.
