DVD Reviews of Come & Get It
DVD Review: Frances Farmer's greatest performance/s
Summary: 4 Stars
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 returns to discover Lotta--long dead--has a daughter that looks exactly like her, Lotta Bostrum (also played by Farmer). Harbouring a strong infatuation for the younger Lotta, Barney's emotional turmoil is further compounded by his son Richard (Joel McCrea), who begins falling for her as well.
COME AND GET IT is a finely-crafted romantic drama, and Frances Farmer gives a splendid performance as both incarnations of Lotta (simply by changing wigs and voice pattern). Edward Arnold does a great job at conveying Barney's immense feelings of guilt at having left the only good thing in his life.
In her very brief screen career, Frances Farmer considered COME AND GET IT as her best movie performance. And her pride is justified. Without a strong Lotta at it's core, this would be just another forgettable "weepie" from the mid-1930s, but Farmer's performance turns COME AND GET IT into an event.
This film only earned two Academy Award nominations ('Best Supporting Actor' for Walter Brennan, and 'Best Film Editing' for Edward Curtiss). Farmer wasn't even nominated, despite the fact she plays two different characters--and almost two different movies. As a follow-up to her role here, Farmer was to have played Laurel in "Stella Dallas", but instead turned away from Hollywood to star on Broadway in "Golden Boy".
For fans of the tragic, under-appreciated Frances Farmer, COME AND GET IT deserves a special place on the shelf. The DVD includes the trailer. (Single-sided, single-layer disc).
Description of Come & 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 OscarĀ(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 ActorBestsellers in DVD
