Looks like a fine text to set up an ASK EDDIE query regarding the status of a possible/potential restoration.

The late Mark Fertig had some interesting things to say about Anne Baxter in his writeup for THE COME ON (excerpting from the full text):

The Come On is obviously a B movie, warts and all, but the performers and the filmmakers put forth an undeniably sincere effort. Its shoddy production values and pedestrian photography are made up for by its story--complicated but coherent--and even more by its cast. Career TV man John Hoyt practically steals the show as Baxter’s lowlife partner; while Jesse White--known to generations of Americans as the Maytag repairman--is a spectacularly oily private eye.

Admittedly, no one could possibly argue that Hayden is at his best, but Baxter gives it everything she’s got. Sometimes a performer’s personal circumstances equip them to play a role so well that an otherwise inconsequential film becomes special (a raging Edward G. Robinson in Black Tuesday comes to mind)...and in her own way Anne Baxter is that good in The Come On. (The great BmacV even calls her a “trouper.”)

In spite of her upbringing, it’s plain to see how Baxter’s later misfortunes had changed her. Gone now is what Zanuck called the “bitch virtuosity” that had made the pampered star into the perfect Eve. The woman on display in The Come On is wary, vulnerable, desperate, tired, and to tell the truth, trying just a little too hard. In other words, she’s perfect.

In the years since All About Eve, Anne Baxter had seen her marriage fail and her ex-husband die. She struggled mightily to maintain her status in Hollywood, all while trying to raise a daughter that too often she left in the care of others, and wading through an endless but excruciatingly shallow pool of male suitors, praying that one might make a suitable father. She was lonely, wracked by guilt, caught up in a life that bore little resemblance to the one she had enjoyed in the forties. She was perfectly equipped to play Rita--a beautiful woman standing at a crossroads, neck-deep in trouble and unable to move, needing someone to help her make the right choice and get her life once again moving forward.
