During WWII, Claire Phillips was stuck in Manila after the Philippines fell to the Japanese. Following her husband's death, she apparently became an important member of the underground...though she did it in wide open as a hostess of a night club. The story is interesting and should have been made...but there is one serious problem. It seems that Claire was a liar. Yes, some of this DID happen but later when folks began investigating her claims, they found many exaggerations and outright lies. It's a shame...but the film still is entertaining and worth your time.
In the lead is Ann Dvorak. It's one of her last films and she was good in the role..particularly because she was older and less glamorous...and looked a lot like Phillips. The direction and production were all good...and the only reason I don't give the film a higher score is due to the dubious nature of the details of her exploits.
