DID YOU KNOW?

Did you know that one of the most famous spies in history had a wooden leg? Too good to be true, you say? Nope, not for Virginia Hall. She lost her lower left leg in hunting back when she was 27. Her disability disqualified her for joining the United States Foreign Service. So she instead joined the French ambulance corps during World War II's early stages. Then, she volunteered for the British Special Operations Executive to organize the resistance against German occupants. Because of her espionage skills, she was called "the most dangerous of all Allied spies" by the Nazis, who were very determined to kill her.

Nowadays, espionage has been essential to many storylines of action movies. One film franchise that had been successful in using espionage in its plot was the James Bond film series. The first of it starred Sean Connery as Agent 007 back in 1963. Little did the world know that that movie has just started a saga, which continues up to this date. We can name spy movies on and on, as there's a lot of it. But how about the spy TV and/or web series? Among the first known spy shows was I Spy, which starred Bill Cosby in 1965. In 2019, Ribhu Dasgupta has directed an Indian fictional spy web series which featured some of Bollywood's biggest stars. And just after three days after its premiere, the series earned praises from critics for its cinematography, editing, and of course because of the casts' performances.
