Movie Reviews of Come and Get It
Movie Review: Was it edited from original 1936 release?
Summary: 3 Stars
I had seen the original movie back in the late 1940's or early 1950's and have always had a scene in my head where at least one (maybe several) steam locomotives were on the tracks and moving in front of the depot building in Iron Ridge, Wisconsin. My parents lived only a few miles from it. I knew the area well!!!
I was disappointed that there are no such scenes in this DVD version?
Did I imagine the whole thing or was this version edited from the original movie?
If anyone can answer my questions, please contact me. ironman2002@charter.net
Summary of Come and Get It
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 Oscar?(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 ActorWisconsin 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
