Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe rights to the play "Trigger" were purchased with Dorothy Jordan in mind for the lead. However, Katharine Hepburn agreed to star on the condition that she could leave for New York on November 16, 1933 to appear in the play "The Lake". Shooting of the two final scenes ran about 6 hours late on November 15, 1933, but director John Cromwell was dissatisfied with the results and wanted to reshoot them. Miss Hepburn refused at first, citing the terms of her contract. She then demanded, and received, $10,000 (in addition to her $50,000 salary) to stay an extra day for the reshoot.
- GoofsGeorge shushes John, telling him he'll wake the baby, but a shot of the infant shows it moving and already awake.
- Quotes
John Stafford: You trust me, don't you?
Trigger Hicks: Don't trust no man farther than a shotgun can hit.
John Stafford: Oh, you never loved a man, then, did you?
Trigger Hicks: Sure, I've loved a heap of 'em. The more I love 'em, the less I trust 'em.

Featured review
A misfire, but better than I expected
Yes, this is one of the weaker Hepburn RKO films, but instead of the truly horrible film I expected, I thought it was not as bad as is generally thought.
I like mid-1930's movies, and I'm a big fan of Hepburn. I'm always fascinated watching favorite actors doing unusual roles.
One of the reasons she took the part is due to her obvious talents as a sportswoman....can you imagine someone like Ginger Rogers in the role? Constance Bennett?
I was pleasantly surprised at Sara Haden's performance. She in support of scores of movies, and this role is one of her biggest parts. She's first-rate.
All in all, a very minor film, but if Warners ever gets around to releasing Hepburn's RKO films on DVD, this is one that I will buy.
