About Operation Dames
During the Korean War, a troupe of traveling USO entertainers find themselves behind enemy lines with a squad of American soldiers. Together they try to find their way back to their own lines while trying to avoid capture, but the North Koreans discover their presence and set out after them.
Directed by Louis Clyde Stoumen, Operation Dames leans on a strong ensemble — Eve Meyer, Chuck Henderson, Don Devlin — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1959.
