1977 Moscow. Two Americans are told their husband have died in an air crash. They appeal to the local CIA man Adrian Lester to stay on and be of use to him. His superiors think this a great idea as the KGB would never think of women as operatives. (Um. Those of us who have read and seen 'From Russia With Love' will have other ideas.)
They are Emilia Clarke and Hayley Lu Richardson. Ems is college educated and speaks Russian (her grandmother is Harriet Walter); Hayls' only asset is fearlessness.
It's rather sweetly filmed in 1.66:1 and the soundtrack is peppered with 1970s music.
It's no Spy City.
