Plot Summary

Set during the rise of the logging industry in Wisconsin, Come and Get It follows Barney Glasgow, an aggressive, energetic businessman who helps build a timber empire through nerve, appetite, and relentless will. Early in the film, Barney falls deeply in love with Lotta Morgan, the daughter of his friend Swan Bostrom. Yet when the chance for wealth and status appears, he marries elsewhere and chooses social advancement over the woman he truly wants. That decision shapes the rest of his life.

Years later, Barney is rich and powerful, but he is not at peace. His son Richard Glasgow grows up in privilege and eventually meets Lotta Bostrom, the daughter of Barney’s lost love. Frances Farmer plays both Lotta Morgan and her daughter, and that casting choice gives the second half of the film its emotional charge. Barney sees in the younger woman a living echo of the future he abandoned, while Richard falls in love without understanding the full history behind his father’s obsession. The result is a family drama built on memory, vanity, and the inability to undo earlier choices.

The film moves fluidly between frontier vigor and drawing-room unease, showing how the rough energy that created wealth can become destructive once power is secured. Edward Arnold gives Barney force and appetite, Joel McCrea brings sincerity to Richard, and Walter Brennan provides warmth and humanity as Swan. The story is expansive but direct, using personal longing to illuminate larger changes in American life.

Why Buy This Classic in Color?

This release gives a richly produced 1930s drama a more immediate visual presence without losing its period character. The original black and white photography captured forests, mills, formal interiors, and changing generations with strong tonal contrast. In color, the timber camps feel more rugged, the town sequences more lived-in, and the contrast between frontier roughness and cultivated wealth becomes easier to read at a glance.

The colorization process uses advanced digital techniques to ensure historically accurate colors while preserving every detail of the original cinematography.

Every scene has been colorized frame-by-frame using advanced digital restoration techniques to ensure period-accurate results.

This colorized version preserves the artistry of the original while breathing vivid new life into every frame.

The film is also worth owning because it offers much more than prestige period spectacle. It is a restored studio melodrama about hunger, class mobility, and the way unresolved desire damages both families and legacies. Walter Brennan’s Oscar-winning performance remains a major draw, but Edward Arnold and Frances Farmer are equally crucial to the picture’s force. For collectors of classic Hollywood drama, this edition provides instant access to a film with real emotional heft. This classic movie is also available in colour for international audiences.
