Secret Weapons

This is a typical North American spy-romantic film about the USSR, based on a cliche from the 50s.

In the center of the story is a young woman from a rural part of Russia who for some reason was chosen by the KGB for its operations.

Most likely, this was done to make it easier for the viewer to believe in the purity of her motives, selfless love for "freedom" and religion.

In reality, a city dweller with a good background in English would be chosen for such a job.

But this movie is a fairy tale for housewives and lovers of inexpensive exotics.

The special school also looks very funny. It's a cross between a barracks and a church school, where instead of strict nuns and sergeants there are KGB officers.

Most likely, the film was shot in Canada, judging by the large number of Lada cars of the sixth model.

Acting is quite tolerable for such an inexpensive product. Franciscus is convincing in the role of a protective mentor, and Geena Davis and Linda Hamilton in the roles of naive girls. The final scene turned out to be very touching and elegant.

Otherwise, it is quite a cheap trinket in order to amuse the inhabitants of the "free world" and make them think that everyone dreams of their freedom, and not just about a high standard of living with affordable cars, affordable food, clothes and other really objective advantages.
