Female Agents

Despite the extremely unfortunate translation of the title, Female Agents is actually quite good. A cheesier-than-Charlie's-Angels premise (a nun, a prostitute, a stripper, and a jilted lover go behind the lines in Nazi occupied France) is instantly forgivable when it becomes clear that the characters are written with great care, and the outcome will not be cheerfully banal.

The overall look of the film is bright and colorful, and a good contrast to the events unfolding within it. The direction is good, if not very imaginative, and the plot is excellent. The acting is quite good as well, although hidden behind intentionally fakey personalities for the first part of the movie. Not for the squeamish, but a great story based on true events for any spy or war buff.
