Description: This Original Short Subject Script is in very good condition considering its age. It was used during the making of the 1932 Laurel and Hardy Classic Short titled, " Their First Mistake" which co-starred Mae Busch and Billy Gilbert.
Their First Mistake is a 1932 American Pre-Code comedy short starring Laurel and Hardy. Directed by George Marshall, the film was produced by Hal Roach and distributed by MGM.
Their First Mistake is a RARE film for the duo, as there is no resolution at the end. In the THIS original script, Mrs. Hardy came back to Oliver with twin adopted babies, but so much time and money had been spent on adding Laurel's improvisations that there was no budget left to film it.
The films director, George Marshall was an American actor, screenwriter, producer, film and television director, active through the first six decades of film history. In the 1930s, he established a reputation for comedy, directing Laurel and Hardy in three classic films, and also working on a variety of comedies for Fox, though many of his films at Fox were destroyed in a vault fire in 1937. Later in his career he was particularly sought after for comedies. He did around half a dozen films each with Bob Hope and Jerry Lewis, and also worked with W. C. Fields, Jackie Gleason, and Will Rogers.

All of the scripts that I own are original not reproductions or fakes. Some people, new to collecting, are confused about the word "Original." In terms of movie scripts, the term "Original" means that it was used by the production company in the early stages of production or that it was given to the cast and crew members during filming, and used at the time of production. Each film project has a different total number of scripts that are issued. The older a film is you also have to figure in the fact that a lot of the original movie scripts have been thrown out or destroyed over time.
An original movie script has a lot of character in the item itself and every one of them is different in some way or another. For example, all finished scripts begin as a First Draft Screenplay then through time the screenplay is edited or Revised into the Final Version of the Shooting Script. Any changes made to the screenplay during production are known as revisions. These revision pages are usually a different color like blue or pink and inserted into the Final Scripts that were issued to the cast and crew. Sometimes new writers are even brought in by the producers during the early stages for whatever reason to revise and make changes to the original script or come in with their own story ideas. Because of this a First Draft Screenplay can even go through multiple title changes on its way to becoming a Final Script. There is usually only one script given to each cast or crew member duringproduction. Some crew and cast will make changes or add notes to their script copies as well.
All these changes or revisions make original movie scripts v ery desirable because of how unique they are at various stages in the writing/editing/production process.
