For you Cold War movies buffs out there, this one is a jem. I saw that as a kid on TV, and since then remembered one of the scences : "What's Americans religion ?" "Protestantism ?" "No, sex". Linda Hamilton, Geena Davis and Sally Kellerman are just great. Here, You have all that so cheesy "80s ambiance" that's SOOO cool. The reason I Put 4 stars instead of 5 is the picture quality, which is terrible and the absence of any bonuses, or subtitles (I'm not native from the US). Besides that, you just have to watch this with friends and have a great laugh.

This movie deals with a time period long past, and it is hard to take it seriously. The main character is played by Linda Hamilton, an actress who epitomizes the 1980ies and who I just happen to like. She plays an innocent Russian girl who is recruted into a kind of an academy and turned into a "bait" for Americans targeted for blackmail schemes by the Soviets. Nobody cared about authenticity as far as the Russian settings are concerned, but the moral conflicts the heroine runs into are handled with tact.

This was a movie of the week on one of the networks. Who knew that the actresses wouldlater become more famous than Sally Kellerman? The dialogue is so camp and dated now. The scenes of winter time in Russia are perfect. It is worth watching!

Received item in a timely manner. Great condition and price. Like Linda Hamilton in it and thought the ending was an all win situation

This movie sucked, it was very boring and that's sad because I like linda hamilton and gena davis. the movie wasn't worth it.

Debonair yet ruthless, Colonel Victor Khudenko (James Franciscus, when time ran out) recruits Russia's most beautiful and talented teenage girls to attend his secret school to become international sex spies. Major Vera Malevich (Sally Kellerman, Back to School), Khudenko's cold, stern wife, supervises the school's curriculum, systematically stripping the girl's of their clothes and identities...coercing them to sacrifice both mind and body for the State...brainwashing them into submission...ultimately molding deadly K.G.B. agents.

Elena (Linda Hamilton, The Terminator) is the star pupil, forced to surrender her virginity to an anonymous cadet, Elena is chosen to lead her group of elite graduates in subversive fieldwork - luring, seducing and entrapping selected American targets - from students to key international dignitaries.

Intrigue turns to heart-pounding suspense as Elena, posing a an American student, falls uncontrollably in love with her young "hit" and the dream of freedom he represents....
Buy the movie and find out the rest - hehehe...
