Customer Reviews of Come and Get It
Why so expensive? I feel like the sellers are holding this movie for ransom. WHO is going to pay that much money for a movie (DVD) that no one remembers? It would be better for a Frances Farmer fan to have and enjoy rather than sit and collect dust on the shelf. I guess I'll instead be ordering the VHS copy for cheap.
LOVE HER TENDER.......
Yeah? So, where IS the FRANCES FARMER Award or Scholarship?
Everyone's profited from her - so? [Then again, there were/are so many ...... since then.]
This rather staid adaptation of the Ferber novel [and here's another lady who should be canonized! Brilliant novelist- should be mandatory reading for any immigrant] hit the screen with Greats, Edward Arnold [that final close-up!]; Walter Brennan [unfulfilled career - Award winning here]; FRANCES FARMER [it's that John Wayne/Mae West swagger that gets you in the first incarnation - two roles here - mother and daughter - very subtle/economic] - THEN devastating as the daughter - just imagine what Frances would have done to 'Basic Instinct' or "Klute"?
As we now know - A RARE talent way ahead of her time.
The DVD is excellent - try watching it in German - with English subtitles - now that's an experience, and it brings a freshness to this quirky work.
The title? Frances pre-dates Mr. Presley with this song .......... very authentic, but then we do have an artist at work.
A SHOWCASE FOR FRANCES FARMER
Howard Hawks, who directed this film stated that Frances Farmer was, without a doubt, the finest actress he ever worked with. In a dual role in which she excellently plays both a mother and daughter with honest conviction, Farmer is perhaps even more natural than say Barbara Stanwyck in her playing: she emerges, almost without emphasis, from out of the crowd at Arnold's elbow. He's at one of the gaming tables a lumberman who's just struck it rich and he naturally draws a crowd. When Arnold eyes Farmer, she says in her low voice "Hullo" her mouth crooked while chewing gum - she's an assured dame who doesn't take any baloney. Not a typical Hollywood beauty, the large - boned Farmer was an intellectual individualist who eventually ruined her career because of her egotistical independence which was deemed as mental illness. She was actually committed to institutions for the insane in the forties and her real life became a horror story. Alcoholic and lonely (after being released) she got a job in Eureka, California working as a secretary by day as Frances Anderson. She got away with her anonymity for about a year when a man approached her coming out of a liquor store. He said to her "You're Frances Farmer aren't you?" for reasons unknown to her she blurted out "Yes, I am - how did you know?" he replied "I remember you" and thusly encouraged her to revive her career somewhat. Farmer died of cancer of the throat in 1970. The excellent performance of look - alike Jessica Lange is worth seeing in the 1982 movie biography FRANCES.
