Co-written and directed by Jean-Pierre Salome, Female Agents or Les Femmes de l'ombre (2008) was inspired by an obituary for a lesser-known resistance fighter, Lise de Baissac, that the director had read in the newspaper. The story follows female members of the SOE during World War II, disguised as nurses, who are sent to rescue a geologist (whose work will be instrumental in the D-Day invasion) from the Nazis. The film is well made, but slow at times. Sophie Marceau is beautiful in the lead role. The supporting cast does a great job as well, including Julie Depardieu, Marie Gillain, Deborah Francois and Moritz Bleibtreu.
