Come and Get It (1936)

In the untamed backwoods of northern Wisconsin, 1884, the story unfolds around Barney Glasgow, a fiercely ambitious logger enticed by the boundless wealth of the forests. With a "come and get it" mantra, he eyes the unspoiled riches of the woods, ready to seize the opportunity. The only missing piece in his pursuit of prosperity is financial backing. He secures this by striking a pragmatic deal with his superior, Hewitt, agreeing to marry his daughter, Emma Louise. This decision comes at a steep personal cost, as he forsakes his heartfelt love for the charismatic saloon girl, Lotta Morgan, who reciprocates his feelings. Fast forward twenty-three years, Barney reigns as a successful logging tycoon, having ruthlessly stripped the Wisconsin forests bare without replenishing them. While he has sired two headstrong children, Richard and Evvie, true love eludes him. His life takes an unexpected turn when he encounters Lotta Bostrum, the daughter of his old friend, Swan Bostrum, and the spitting image of her deceased mother - his lost love, Lotta Morgan. Seeing Lotta Bostrum as a chance to recapture his lost love, Barney lavishes her with attention, stirring the town gossip and igniting a rivalry with his own son Richard, who harbors his own feelings for Lotta. Thus, the stage is set for a riveting tale of ambition, love, rivalry, and redemption, framed against the backdrop of the relentless Wisconsin logging industry.
