This film is certainly not one of my favourites. It's a bio-pic of Hanka "Ordonka" Ordonowna, cabaret star of 1930's Poland, star of "Spieg w masce," and WWII heroine. It mostly focuses on her love life, rather than her career, war efforts, or tragic death. Sad, as it would've been much more entertaining if it had. Dorota Stalinska is a good actress, but can not hope to compare to Ordonka's stellar beauty, actually she doesn't look anything like her. The dubbed singing is also much less than the real Ordonka's. I did enjoy hearing the songs and learning a bit more about my idol, though I would like to see a more detailed film about her with a more suited star. It's a shame Ordonka's talent and courage to save children from the horrors of war are not more celebrated outside of Poland.
