Description

Tour manager's script for the Academy Award-winning film, including the alternate ending

Complete original disbound copy of the script for Purple Rain belonging to tour manager Alan Leeds, 8.5 x 11, 107 pages, with the title page, reading: "Purple Rain, Screenplay by Albert Magnoli, Formerly Dreams by William Blinn, Production No. 8301, First Draft, 29 August 1983, * Computer Version." Although the title page denotes this as a "First Draft," it seems to be a later version, as Apollonia is cast as Prince's love interest (in the true first draft, it was Vanity). The script also has blue and pink revision pages inserted throughout. Many pages are annotated with information including the dates or locations where scenes were shot, or small changes made to the script. Also includes twelve pages referred to as 'Q' pages, code for an alternate ending, with the cover sheet reading, "Second Ending, 'Q' Pages - 'Q' Scenes, 10/14/83," and a six-page "Crew List" with names and contact information for the crew. In fine condition. From the collection of Prince's assistant tour manager Gwen Leeds and accompanied by a letter of provenance. A fantastic piece from the production of Prince's classic film.
