    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Mildred 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.
    • Goofs
      In the title for the closing arguments, the title reads "Closing Arguments, Gillars v. United States". The defendant is always listed second in court actions. In this case, the United States was clearly the prosecuting agent, Gillars was obviously the defendant.
    • Quotes

      James Laughlin: America is watching. We must not sacrifice this woman, patriotism covering up a lynch mob!

    • Crazy credits
      The 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.

    A great performance By Al Pacino

    I was thinking between 5/10 or 6/10 because it seems 6 is too much for it but WHAT a good preference by Al Pacino , sure until this he is totally able to nail every part he gets in his comfort zone, Like Hoffa in The Irishman 2019 , I hope he keeps going with those kinds of characters even if the movies they are in are not so great , watchable.
