An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 14 1/2" [36 x 37 cm]) (Learn More) Edna Ferber's Come and Get It, the 1936 Howard Hawks & William Wyler romantic love triangle family relationship melodrama ("It's tough.... It's rough....! No punches pulled...!"; "Again Edna Ferber's pen writes with the sweep of 'Cimarron' and the grandeur of 'Show Boat'"; "From the famous novel by Edna Ferber"; about an aspiring businessman who does not marry the girl he loves, because he is set on becoming a major success, and his best friend marries the girl instead; he marries a different woman and has two kids with her, a boy and a girl, and when they grow up, he goes back to see his old friend and the woman he loved; he discovers that the woman died, but the friend had a daughter with her, and she is a duplicate to the woman, and of course, the now old man falls in love with her, but pretends solely to have a "fatherly" interest in her; much more happens, including his own son falling in love with the daughter, and it is an extremely strange movie!) starring Edward Arnold, Joel McCrea, Frances Farmer, Walter Brennan (winner of the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film), Andrea Leeds, and Mady Christians. Note that Frances Farmer plays the dual role of both the lost love of Edward Arnold, and the daughter of that woman, grown up. She does an incredible job, because she makes the two women seem completely different, and you have no trouble believing that they are not the same person. Also note that director Howard Hawks wanted to change the story from the Ferber source novel, and Sam Goldwyn, the producer, strongly disagreed, and they battled over it, and ultimately, Hawks was fired, near the end of filming. Goldwyn brought in William Wyler and it is thought that Wyler directed the last 30 minutes of the movie, but no one is too sure! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.

Important Added Info: Note that this window card has been significantly trimmed and it has other defects, but we have never auctioned one before, so if you are looking for this, then good luck on finding another! We can't even say for certain that it is from the first release of the movie in 1936, although we compared it to the re-releases, and we don't think it could be from them, so that would make it first release (the first release would surely have United Artists on it, but it seems likely that the portion that said that studio's name is missing). If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 14" x 14 1/2" [36 x 37 cm]. Also note that this window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Condition: poor to fair. The window card has been significantly trimmed and it has other defects (see our image).
