The Hunt for Red October, Revised Draft 3, 1989 (Original Script)

Notes: A late version of the screenplay for the first Jack Ryan film, who was played by Alec Baldwin, with Sean Connery playing the Soviet submarine captain Marko Ramius. James Earl Jones as Vice Admiral James Greer, the deputy director of the CIA.

I compared the script to the opening scenes of the movie, and the film is much more taut; the changes could not have been made solely during editing and indicate that this version was revised before the scenes were filmed.

The script is printed on golden rod paper, and ends with page 113 (with two unnumbered preliminaries), however, there are many inserted pages, marked with the letter A after the page number, also printed on golden rod sheets. By my count there are 141 total leaves.

Edition + Condition: Bound with two brass brads in white cardstock with the Paramount logo in blue on the front cover. The title is handwritten in ink below the logo. Quarter-sized coffee stain at base of front cover.

Publication: [Los Angeles]: Paramount, 1989.
