Trivia
An early Christian film made by The Sacred Heart League, Inc. to raise money for Auto Immune Disease research and treatment.

Goofs
Percy announces to a group of customers that she served time in prison for manslaughter but Naham has to call the county court to find out what she was convicted for. It's not plausible that the whole town, including Percy, wouldn't know about it after Percy's confession.

Quotes
Nahum Goddard: Where do you come from, Percy?
Percy: Ohio.
Nahum Goddard: Ohio, huh. I had some clients from Ohio once. Didn't sound like you do.
Percy: Well I wouldn't mind coming from someplace else, if that doesn't suit you.

A Wonderfully, uplifting Film!

What can I say? The Spitfire Grill is a rare film that holds your attention throughout the movie. Where there is some misguided ideas, there is not one evil person in the whole movie. The characters are well developed and you feel as though you know each one intimately. The scenery is beautiful, too, and you almost feel as though you are living in the town with the characters. I would highly recommend this film to anyone of any age. 10 stars!
