Nominated for five Academy Awards in 1937, including one for Riskin for Best Original Story, the film won one Award for Capra as Best Director. The film is based on a short story by Clarence Budington Kelland, first published in 1935. Riskin completed this, the first draft, on 23 August 1935. The final draft is dated 10 December 1935. The first draft comprises 239 pages of text, and 595 shots. The final draft shows some significant revision and comprises 200 pages of text, and 439 shots. Robert Riskin's collaboration with Capra was one of the most successful partnerships in 1930s Hollywood: "Riskin wrote most of Capra's best films and established what Capra like to chant endlessly about as 'Capra-corn'" (Henstell). "Riskin is a superlative dialogue writer. He writes scenes beautifully, and he has a great ear for what people should say and do under certain circumstances. The way we worked with Bob Riskin was that in most cases - not all of them, but the majority of cases - I would lay out the scenes, and he would write the scenes in dialogue form, and he was absolutely superb in dialogue" (Capra, p.50). A script for the film was published within Six Screenplays by Robert Riskin, published in 1997. For that volume the editor Pat McGilligan noted that the texts for "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town and Lost Horizon were both 'reconstructed' from dated final drafts. Most of the emendations for these two scripts. came with respect to dialogue." (McGilligan, p. x).
