Description:
A luminous Frances Farmer stars in this 'superb' (The Hollywood Reporter) romantic drama based on the novel by Edna Ferber. Co-starring Edward Arnold, Joel McCrea and Water Brennan, in an OscarÂ(r)-winning* performance, this tale of ruthless ambition and reckless passion is an unforgettable classic with the 'power to charm, spellbind and stir' (Variety).Lumberman Barney Glasgow (Arnold) abandons saloon girl Lotta (Farmer) to marry a timber heiress only to fall for Lotta's beautiful daughter (also played by Farmer) twenty years later. But this time, Barney has a rival for the young woman's love: his own son (McCrea)!*1936: Supporting Actor
Amazon.com:
Wisconsin lumberman Barney Glasgow (Edward Arnold) makes his fortune by marrying his business associate's daughter to cinch a lucrative partnership, thereby sacrificing the one he truly loves, Lotta Morgan (Frances Farmer). Lotta marries Barney's close pal Swan Bostrom (Walter Brennan) and they beget Lotta Bostrom (also Frances Farmer) who bears a striking resemblance to her mother. Years later, when the elder Lotta is no longer with us, Barney and his son (Joel McCrea) both fall for the young Lotta, causing Barney to work out his troubling sense of loss. This rousing loggers melodrama was the one and only true showcase for the talents of Frances Farmer, who is superb in the dual role of the mother and daughter Lottas (and for a fledgling actor, that's a lotta Lottas), and who would later be made more famous by the biopics based on her life. Co-directed by Howard Hawks (who discovered Farmer, and was ousted from the film when he was rude to producer Samuel Goldwyn) and William Wyler. --Jim Gay

Rating:  - Frances Farmer's greatest performance/s
Another typical Edna Ferber story, with it's multi-generation characters and large doses of romance and fate. COME AND GET IT is mainly notable for starring Frances Farmer in dual roles, plus fine turns from Edward Arnold and Joel McCrea.
The setting is the logging community in Wisconsin. Barney Glasgow (Edward Arnold) falls in love with gold-hearted saloon singer Lotta Morgan (Frances Farmer) but jilts her and instead marries into a rich and powerful family. Many years later, Barney ... Read More
Rating: - Gee, The Mother and Daughter Sure Look Alike
Based on Edna Ferber's generational tale about the Wisconsin logging industry, "Come and Get It" (1936) is an excellent pairing of Frances Farmer and Edward Arnold (best known for "Diamond Jim"). What I found most interesting is the incredible resemblance between Farmer and Jessica Lange, who played her in "Frances" (1982). That film was a somewhat distorted account of Farmer's troubled life and was quite a hit with the activist crowd at the time of its release.

Rating:  - rural sprawl produces another lumbering adaptation of edna ferber
as usual, edna ferber books are just too damned spread out to work as fully effective films, but they adapt as pretty good almosts. the first part of the movie, set in a late 1800s logging camp, work much better for me, with frances farmer way more credible as the bar girl than a generation later playing her own daughter. edward arnold is as always great (pleeez, release "diamond jim brady" on dvd!), and walter brennan won one of his 3 oscars in a memorable supporting turn, tho the young joel mccrea ...

Rating:  - I Came and Got It
I love this movie and was so thrilled Amazon.com had it online on DVD. Frances Farmer shone so brightly in this film as did Edward Arnold and Walter Brennen. For film buffs this is a keeper and a must. Thank you Amazon.com.
Rating: - Fabulous film of Unrequited Love
Seeing "Come and Get It" in the 21st century is every bit as sad and heart-wrenching as it was in 1936. That is the test of a classic. The fine directing by Billy Wilder and Hank Hawks still comes through and a cast of fabulous actors includes not only Frances Farmer but also the venerable Edward Arnold, the latterly-famous Walter Brennan and pretty boy Joel McCrea. They all deliver fine performances.
Burly lumberman Barney Glasgow (Arnold) is forced to make a heartbreaking choice. Should ... Read More
