Plot: Kewpie-doll voiced Melanie Griffith does a sexed-up Nancy Drew turn in David Seltzer's adaptation of Susan Issacs' novel {~Shining Through}. Set during World war II, Griffith plays Linda Voss, a spunky New York girl who applies for a job with international lawyer Ed Leland (Michael Douglas). Ed hires her immediately when he finds out that she speaks German fluently. The reason Ed is so interested in Linda's language skills is because Ed is an undercover OSS officer who needs a German translator. Their business relationship translates into love, but when America enters the war, Ed abandons his law practice to become a full-time spy. Utilizing Linda's charms, she travels to Berlin and infiltrates the Nazis as a domestic to try to discover information about a bomb that can fly by itself. But Linda has personal as well as patriotic motives for agreeing to go undercover, since she has Jewish relatives in Berlin and wants to find out their whereabouts. ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide

This is our favorite movie of all time. it takes place 38,39,&40 aera. It was at a time in our life that the music, the seanes and the story seemed very real. the world was upside down then , but this movie brought it together. The war, the romance, the music, and the story. The best ever. If you lived and loved at that time, you have got to see this movie.

Added 8/14/2009

I SAW THIS MOVIE YEARS AGO IN THE WEE HOURS ON HBO. THEY NEVER SHOWS IT IN PRIME TIME AND IT NEVER APPEAR AT MY LOCAL MOVIE RENTALS. I HAD BEGUN TO THINK I HAD "DREAMED" THE MOVIE. I HAVE BEEN ON THE LOOK OUT FOR IT FOR A LONG TIME. BEING NEW TO AMAZON, WHEN I SAW MOVIES I KNEW I WAS GOING TO HAVE TO SEE IF THERE WAS A "SHINING THROUGH" MOVIE. THERE WAS AND WAS I HAPPY. I DO BELIEVE THAT PRICE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE BUT I FOUND A NEW COPY AND THE GREATEST PRICE. BEING A WWII "NUT" AND HAVING A LIBRARY OF WWII MOVIE, THIS FITS RIGHT IN. I,ALSO ,CHOSE THE ONE SHIPPED FROM NC AND GOT IT RIGHT AWAY.

A gripping story told through the memories of the woman who lived through it. A secretary turned spy, and sent into Nazi Germany, with danger and suspense finding her at every turn. Spectacular and believable performances delivered by Michael Douglas and Melannie Griffith make this an edge of your seat adventure.
