An original script for the Columbia Pictures film. Typed and underlined on the brown paper cover, IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT; includes one hundred and eighty-five typed onion skin pages.

Below the typed title a handwritten note and signature of Robert Risan, the screenwriter for It Happened One Night. Mr. Risan expresses his surprise at the acceptance of the comedy by the movie critics and public: "The unusual interest in "It Happened One Night" still remains a mystery to me.
