"Lamarr was an enigma: a great brain trapped in a silly, spurious image of glamour, while her real talent was allowed to wither. A sad but fascinating story."
★★★★★
-Peter Bradshaw, Guardian

"A crazy story that is well told in Alexandra Dean’s film."
★★★★
-Jonathan Dean, The Sunday Times

"It may be the best "not just a pretty face" story in the history of the world."
★★★★
-Nigel Andrews, Financial Times

Austrian actress Hedy Lamarr fled an oppressive marriage to create a name for herself as one of Hollywood’s top leading ladies in the 1940s. Behind the glamour and sex appeal, though, was a talented and inquisitive inventor who created a radio system that is now considered the basis of Bluetooth technology.
