I don't know what these other people are talking about. I wasn't bored, not for a second. And I am a movie-buff, actor, writer and director. I thought she did a fine job. Superstitious? Ignorant? Appently none of these other folks have known any real believers. I may not be one myself, as far as praying for healing goes, anyway, but I know a few. She was right on target. When she asks Mr. Fleet (Ralph Belamy) "Do you believe, Mr. Fleet?" he answers "Maybe not like that, but when I hear you, I believe more." I saw exactly what I've seen before...not just superstition or ignorance. (This was well into the film, after he'd gotten to know her quite well.)
Katherine Hepburn ridiculous as a hillbilly? Well she convinced me. She well demonstrated that early on she could live in the skin of the person she was playing. I could describe the scenes but don't want to give any spoilers.
I recommend the film to real film-lovers but not to those eyes that aren't able to take the trip. I'm not a sentimentalist, but I do know when to let myself go where the makers of the film intended to take me, and this was one of those times. I gave it a 10.
