Cast: Radhika Apte, Sarah Megan Thomas, Stana Katic, Linus Roache, Laila Robins
Director: Lydia Dean Pilcher
Rating: 3.5 stars (out of 5)
A World War II spy drama that relegates men to secondary roles would have been unthinkable a few years ago. Not only is independent film producer Lydia Dean Pilcher s first solo directing gig
A Call To Spy is a welcome break from norm, the film redraws genre lines to club the story of three courageous women with the theme of multiculturalism.
A Call To Spy, scripted and produced by actress Sarah Megan Thomas, who also does full justice to the film s meatiest role, is a neatly crafted, consistently engaging tale of a trio of female spies - an American, a Romanian Jew and an Indian princess - who worked for the F (France) section of Sir Winston Churchill s Special Operations Executive (SOE) to disrupt the Nazi war machine .
