This film is a true-life story about a female secret agent that worked for the British in Nazi-occupied France. She was recruited since she was fluent in the language and she willingly went into harm's way--even though she had a daughter back home staying with her parents. The film shows her recruitment, training and a couple of her missions. I would say more but I don't want to ruin the film.
The film earns kudos for sticking pretty close to the real life events. It didn't change her life story to make it more glamorous or to give it a happy ending. She knew her job and did it. The choices of actors worked well, too, as again they weren't glamorous and seemed like normal folks. All in all, one of the better WWII films and it's the story of an incredibly brave lady whose exploits deserve to be remembered.
