Historic and rare first draft of the screenplay for the finale of perhaps the most celebrated Crime Family trilogy of all time, from The Godfather Part III. Typewritten to 133 pages, the cover notes the famed creators, Mario Puzo and "Francis Coppola" (sic), plus Zoetrope Studios and "First Draft - May 10, 1989." The 8.5x11" compilation shows use and provides an intimate look at the early stages of what would be the final chapter of the Corleone saga, with the actual film released in 1990. The film was nominated for seven Academy Awards including Best Picture, and was recut and released in 2020 as The Godfather Coda: The Death of Michael Corloene, to coincide with the film's 30th Anniversary.
