An original draft, slightly different from the film but only a little. It's wonderful, beautifully structured work. Every character is well rounded and pays off - the billionaire, his love interest, Mary the nice girl from the shoe store, Hooper the nasty manager, Joe the unionist. Krasna divides the action into set pieces - first day at work, the union meeting, the trip to Coney Island and police arrest. It's really pro union, quite remarkably so. A super comic screenplay - laughs, heart, romance, satirical point.
