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.

Based on a true-life story... Decent movie!
Movie review from Reel Tunez: The Radio Show All About the Movies
A historical movie about an American who went to Germany prior to WWII and became the "Tokyo Rose" voice against the Americans. In real life, this woman (whose real name was Mildred Gillars) spoke against the country, the president, and tried to hurt the morale of the American GI's. After the war, she was caught and tried. I'll go no farther in case you want to see this movie and not have any spoiler here. Notable in this movie is Al Pacino who acts as her defense attorney. His acting was incredible!
The movie is worth seeing, and knowing it's based on an actual person and actual events makes it more interesting. The pace of the movie isn't fast.. so don't expect that. An interesting story and very good acting! Plenty of historical inaccuracies (attention to detail) in uniforms and aspects related to both Germany and radio of that time period. Much of what you see appears to be fairly low budget, but the acting of Pacino really carries this movie (or at least it did for me).
The movie carries a fairly high viewer rating of a 7.0 on IMDB as I write this, but that feels overly generous. I'd give it about a 6.0 rating. It's not bad, but certainly NOT a 7 out of 10.
