Vintage original revised final script from the classic 1980's crime drama/mystery thriller television series, ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS. It is from Season 1, Episode 14, which was entitled A Very Happy Ending, in which a poor little rich boy (Joaquin Leaf Phoenix, who was billed as "Leaf Phoenix") may be deaf, but when he witnesses a murder, he blackmails the hit man into doing a job for him. The cast includes Robert Loggia, John Aprea, Myrna White, Danny Dayton, Blackie Dammett, Mel Harris, Michael Reed, Sydne Squire, Ron Jarvis, and Mercer Helms.
Written by the episode's director, Tom Rickman, this revised final script is dated December 4, 1985. It consists of two acts in 24 pages on white stock which were 3-hole punched and bound with two brass brads without any covers. It is in very fine- condition with light signs of wear along the left and right edges of the title page and some ghosting on the center of this page from someone writing something on a piece of paper that was place on top of this script. There are no missing pages, tears, stains, or other flaws, nor are there any handwritten notations present within.
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.
