Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMildred Elizabeth Gillars nicknamed "Axis Sally" along with Rita Zucca, was an American broadcaster employed by Nazi Germany to disseminate Axis propaganda during World War II. Following her capture in post-war Berlin, she became the first woman to be tried for treason against the United States in March 1949.
- GoofsTwo separate times, Mildred Gillars is escorted by a pair of SS guards who wear black uniforms and display Iron Crosses on the upper left shoulder of their jackets. The SS did not wear black uniforms during World War II (they wore grey) and the Iron Cross was worn on the lower left uniform pocket. The SS guards also appear to wear trousers piped with white stripes, which was something only SS generals wore.
- Quotes
James Laughlin: America is watching. We must not sacrifice this woman, patriotism covering up a lynch mob!
- Crazy creditsThe end credits state that "the story, all names, characters, and incidents portrayed in this production are fictitious..." Which is clearly not true since the film is based on a true story and includes real historical characters that existed.

Do NOT waste your time on this movie.
It is slow and plodding. I found myself watching the clock and wishing it would soon be over. Almost every one of the characters is plastic and two-dimensional. Even Al Pacino (one of my favorite actors of all time) is not up to his usual level of excellence. Meadow Williams' character is like a Barbie doll. When she is on the witness stand, her movements are wooden and jerky. We are never invested in the scant storyline. We do not believe the characters are anything more than actors merely playing a part.
The cinematography is excellent and so are the sets. Ms. William's costumes are 1940s perfection. If the director had paid as much attention to character development as he did framing each and every shot, this movie might have kept my interest. I kept wanting to know Mildred's backstory. What brought her to be a traitor to her nation of origin? At a time in our nation's history of unparalleled patriotism and loyalty, I am at a loss to see how someone who, when offered a chance to leave the country of the aggressive nation, refused and stayed there. These questions are never addressed in the movie. Very disappointing.
