The Holy Terror

About This Movie

The Holy Terror is a curious blend of comedy and intrigue, featuring Corky, the spirited daughter of a Naval officer. Set against the backdrop of World War II, it has this unique light-hearted tone while delving into some serious themes of espionage. The atmosphere shifts seamlessly from playful musical numbers to the tension of spy antics. James Tinling's direction keeps the pacing brisk, making it an enjoyable watch. The performances, especially Corky's, have a certain charm that feels genuine, almost like a stage play at times. The practical effects, though modest by today's standards, add a touch of authenticity that complements the film’s narrative drive. It’s not just a comedy; it’s a snapshot of an era where humor and seriousness danced together.
