About The Quest for a Go-getter
"The Go-Getter" by Peter B. Kyne is a moving parable of determination and entrepreneurial spirit that has inspired many readers since it was originally published in 1921. This short little book is the story of Bill Peck, a veteran of WWI, who convinces Cappy Ricks, the founder of a logging and lumber company, to give him a job opportunity. "The Go-Getter" is the story of perseverance in the face of adversity that is essentially at the heart of success.
Directed by Martin L. Andersen, The Quest for a Go-getter leans on a strong ensemble — Fred Hunting, Steve Anderson, Gordon Johnson — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1990.
