No Man of Her Own (Original screenplay for the 1932 film). Author: Ruggles, Wesley (director); Maurine Watkins, Milton H. Gropper (screenwriters); Clark Gable, Carole Lombard, Dorothy Mackaill, Grant Mitchell (starring) Title: No Man of Her Own (Original screenplay for the 1932 film) Publication: Hollywood: Paramount Pictures, 1932. Description: First Draft script for the 1932 pre-Code film (though it is what would later be known as a revised shooting script, as it was a rewrite issued during shooting).

AFI Catalog provides some context around the October 20, 1932 date on the script, revealing a somewhat troubled production that resulted in a fine film: On 23 Sep 1932, HR announced that the script was being rewritten. According to a HR news item on 4 Oct 1932, Lowell Sherman walked off the set after a pay dispute and was replaced by Wesley Ruggles. Hopkins quit the production in early Nov 1932, claiming the role was not suitable for her. Gable was on loan from M-G-M for this film. Gable and Lombard were married in 1939.

This was their only co-starring film. Gable plays a card cheat who has to go on the lam to avoid a pesky cop. While hiding out he meets lonely but somewhat wild librarian Lombard. The two get married after Lombard wins a coin flip and they move back to the city, where Gable continues his grifting ways unbeknownst to his new wife. Salmon self wrappers, rubber-stamped copy No.
