Here's a synopsis and Review  from AMG: " Set in the woodlands of Wisconsin, Come and Get It stars Edward Arnold as a logger-turned-lumber tycoon. In his rise to the top, Arnold loses out on a chance for lasting happiness by spurning earthy dance hall girl (Frances Farmer), who marries his best pal (Walter Brennan) on the rebound. Marrying for position rather than love, Arnold becomes a society leader in Milwaukee. His son (Joel McCrea) falls in love with the daughter of Arnold's first love (Frances Farmer plays both mother and daughter). Himself smitten by the daughter, Arnold battles with his son over the girl's affection, only to be shocked back into his senses when the girl reprimands his son, "Don't hit him! He's your old man!" Based on a novel by Edna Ferber, Come & Get It carries two directorial credits: William Wyler was dismissed early on by producer Sam Goldwyn, and when Howard Hawks took over, it was on the proviso that Wyler be given co-directing billing. For his performance as Edward Arnold's Scandinavian cohort, Walter Brennan won the first-ever "best supporting actor" Oscar. Come and Get It is a mostly-forgotten adaptation of Edna Ferber's sprawling novel; when it is remembered, it's usually for containing one of the rare performances by the tragically fated Frances Farmer. Farmer's work here is certainly worth remembering; she pulls off the difficult trick of playing a mother and a daughter with ease and reveals the charisma that might have made her a major star, had her personal problems not intervened. Modern viewers who have heard of her but never actually seen her acting will be fascinated, but they'll probably also be surprised to find that hers is not the film's best performance. That goes hands down to Edward Arnold, whose powerhouse presence dominates the film. It's a rich performance, filled with subtle touches that greatly enhance the character and the film. By contrast, Walter Brennan's Oscar-winning performance comes across today as good, but not special. The film itself is uneven, largely because two people officially directed it. (A third handled the eye-popping logging sequence.) The hand of Howard Hawks is very much in evidence during the more masculine first half, while the more sensitive second half seems to bear William Wyler's touch -- but neither man is operating at the top of his game. Blame the screenplay, which is over-plotted and melodramatic, more interested in wringing out emotions than in pulling them up honestly. Fortunately, the cast makes up for many of these deficiencies, with the result that Come and Get It is imminently watchable, if not great cinema.
