A first official look at Actor Al Pacino in Axis Sally, the upcoming drama movie directed by Michael Polish based on a script by Darryl Hicks, Vance Owen, and William E. Owen:
“An american woman named Mildred Gillars (Meadow Williams) broadcasts Nazi propaganda during World War II. She was dubbed Axis Sally by the american GI’s who simultaneously loved and hated her. The story plunges the viewer into the dark underbelly of the Third Reich’s hate-filled propaganda machine, Axis’ eventual capture and treason trial in Washington D.C. after the war.”
Al Pacino plays the role of as James Laughlin, Mildred Gillars’ attorney who represented her once she was arrested and put on trial in the States.
The film has yet to get an official release date.
Stay tuned with us for more details about the movie Axis Sally.

I sure wish someone would have contacted one of us, James Laughlins grandchildren, some of whom actually were raised by him in Washington DC. We would have loved to be a part of this project, in any form. We could have offered valuable information. Look forward to seeing the movie.
