Missing overtones but superlative WWII flavor ..Great watch
20 August 2021
"In 1940 Winston Churchill created the special operations executive SOE - One section to oversee the France operations. In 1941 Col Morris Buckmaster was appointed as its head And then in 1944 this section suffered a heavy human loss because of D-day" 4 women with different backgrounds.. they are not the nurses working in a temporary battlefield hospitals or typists seating behind the desks or secretaries running around on the marble floors... this is a story of bravery, courage and most importantly guts...A plight of women behind enemy lines... Reminded me of Laxmi Sahgal of INA...A somewhat fast forward plot but nimbly paced. Felt few gaps in characterizations but Well-fitted performances portrays the emotions vividly... Although predictable story but few overtones in the screenplay could have added little jamais Vu to the watching experience.. but the photography, location, the flavor of WWII are superlative....based on a true story.. a great watch..
