Female Agents

An old-fashioned WWII romp with the twist that the main SOE operatives followed are a mismatched group of women. There's nothing particularly original about the film but it rattles along from set piece to set piece and with the group being progressively reduced. Some reveal themselves to have unexpected reserves of courage while others fall short. It's not a cynical film. People have the chance to redeem themselves like Eddy, a collaborator pandering to the Germans, who we finally see as a fully fledged member of the Resistance, or Jeanne, the prostitute who murdered her pimp, who ends up as one o the bravest of the agents.
