Synopsis: America has entered World War II. Husbands and sons fight in far-off lands. But along the Gulf Coast the war is much, much closer. Hitler's U-boats prowl coastal waters.

But along the Gulf Coast the war is much, much closer. Hitler's U-boats prowl coastal waters. Navy blimps patrol no-longer-tranquil fishing grounds. Torpedoed tankers ignite nighttime skies. Based on actual events. In the Louisiana village of Cut Off, Camille Picou struggles to raise her two children. Already considered an outcast for long-ago crimes she did not commit, her troubles are worsened by the handsome Coast Guard ensign determined to ferret out saboteurs, the meddlesome rogue of a village priest, and the mysterious refugee Doctor Lenz, hiding from his past, whose secrets will change her life. Another tanker is torpedoed. Drums of fuel come up missing. Rumors fly that someone is helping the enemy. As paranoia grows to fever pitch, Camille and Lenz must battle not only the authorities and their neighbors, but also the terror locked in each other's heart. -- © Overseas Filmgroup [More]

2/4

The movie, which could have been historically intriguing, ends up more of a generic soap opera.

The Scoundrel's Wife looks great and Pitre fills the film with solid performances all around.

Just a little too ungainly, too jumbled at the end, for me to recommend, but it has heart, and I feel a lot of affection for it.
