The human characteristic Hepburn plays best and for which I love her most is total indifference to anyone else's opinion of her. In this one, she plays it out as well as she did in Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, except as a YOUNG woman, and at the OTHER end of the social continuum.
Mountain girl Trigger Hicks (Hepburn) seems eccentric and odd to her neighbors, and apparently superstitious and ignorant to other reviewers, but her self-awareness and absolute confidence in her own perspective and insights into others' hearts and motives made perfect sense to me. The person I saw was exactly the same as the person Mr. Fleet (Ralph Belamy), the Chief Engineer who has gone there to build a damn, is seeing; a person who is wise beyond her years, stable in her emotions, and a keeper ...one you would regret losing, having met her.
My love for Hepburn is not what influenced me to give this one a 10. My love for people who've found what matters most in life is. If that's what matters to you, you'll enjoy this film and I recommend it highly.
