Mata Hari (1984)
Director: Curtis Harrington
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Emmanuelle on the Western Front: a screwy premise if ever there was one, though the period fashions do provide our heroine with something complicated to climb out of. A typically tacky Cannon production, shot in Hungary by a glum Harrington, the film's one interesting feat is the imperilment of its own reason for being, as Kristel lunges and parries her way through a topless fencing scene.Author: BBa
