Movie Info

When civil engineer George Fleetwood (Ralph Bellamy) and his partner, John Stafford (Robert Young), arrive in the Ozarks to oversee the construction of a dam, they meet local spitfire Trigger Hicks (Katharine Hepburn). Fiercely independent and versed in the ways of folk medicine, Hicks is suspected of witchcraft and has been cast out by the judgmental residents of the nearby town. When Trigger abducts a baby who has fallen ill, George and John struggle to help the impoverished woman.

Although, personally, we have never joined up with those vast cohorts who cross themselves and start to gibber at the very sound of the name of Hepburn, we must in all fairness admit that [Spitfire] contains some of the finest work she has ever done.

Audience Reviews for Spitfire

Sep 03, 2010

I really enjoyed this movie. Hepburn plays an aggressive, although unintelligent, country girl. The story is really interesting and her character is cool. Some people have said they don't like this movie, but don't listen to them, see it for yourself.
