Set in 1884 in northern Wisconsin, COME AND GET IT features Barney Glasgow (Edward Arnold), an ambitious lumberman seeking to form a business partnership who decides to marry a businessman's daughter instead of his true love, Lotta Morgan (Frances Farmer), a beautiful and strong-willed saloon singer. Glasgow becomes wealthy and powerful while Lotta marries his Norwegian friend, Swan Bostrum (Walter Brennan), an old-fashioned lumberjack. Years later, Lotta has died and Glasgow meets her daughter, also named Lotta (Farmer). Dissatisfied with his life of luxury and power, Glasgow tries to woo the young woman, but she has another suitor. This rowdy epic drama was based on a novel by Edna Ferber and features strong performances by Farmer in a dual role and Brennan in a part that was awarded the first Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. The film was begun by director Howard Hawks and completed by William Wyler. [More]

Frances Farmer as the hardened beer-hall tart is beguilingly stylized

Botched melodrama that's based on the novel by Edna Ferber.

Although there is nothing new in the theme, it has been simply and powerfully expressed by a number of admirable performances, and it has been played against an interesting background.

This drippy material was generally not the kind of stuff that suited Hawks, but he made the best of it with the film's spirited barroom brawls and a delightful scene in which McCrea and Farmer pull taffy together.

The film may not amount to much, but it's hard to deny the entertainment value of such an over-the-top storyline.

The first part of the film, the best, is unmistakably Hawks.
