One of World War II's most incredible true tales -- that of Claire Philips, America's own Mata Hari -- comes to life in this riveting screen saga. In the Philippine jungles, club singer Claire hastily marries a GI, only to see him cut down by attacking Japanese troops. Rescued by underground US guerillas, she's inspired to get revenge in a most unusual manner -- by opening up a ritzy Manila nightclub. The joint's high-ranking enemy patrons know Claire as svelte Madame Tsubaki, while the Yanks code-name her "High Pockets" for stashing enemy intel in her décolletage. After smuggling valuable Axis secrets and supplies, she's discovered -- and sentenced to die at dawn! Ann Dvorak (from the original Scarface) lights up the screen with glamour and sheer guts in this timeless tale of dauntless female heroism." List(s) this item appears in: War Movies [Fiction]
