In reading wikipedia lists of past oscar winning screenplays, I noticed:
1928-present: there is an award for "best adapted screenplay"
1931-1956: there is an award for "best story"
1940-present: there is an award for "best original screenplay"
So from 1940-1956, what was the difference between "story" and "screenplay", what merited the winning story, and to whom was it credited?
