Facts about Come and Get It
Howard Hawks's take on his being "fired" is that he wasn't. Rather, he quit, after refusing to agree with Samuel Goldwyn, who wanted the narrative to stay closer to that of the book. Goldwyn had been ill and absent for the 42 days of shooting that Hawks directed and was unaware of Hawks' rewrites. Hawks left the production with only 14 days left to go.
Walter Brennan won the very first Supporting Actor Oscar for his role as Swan Bostrom. In the span of four years (1936-40), Brennan won a then-unprecedented three acting Oscars, also for "Kentucky" (1938) and "The Westerner" (1940), a feat unmatched until Katharine Hepburn won her third Best Actress award for 1968's "The Lion in Winter". Brennan's Oscar success was seen as largely due in part to the fact that the Screen Extras Guild consistently voted for him, as Brennan had been an extra for many years until his breakout success as one of Hollywood's most respected character actors.
