Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story
NAME OF FILM: BOMBSHELL: THE HEDY LAMARR STORY
DIRECTOR(S): Alexandra Dean
STARRING: Hedy Lamarr
GENRE: Documentary Film
SYNOPSIS: A Jewish immigrant who escaped a marriage to a munitions tycoon with ties to Mussolini and Hitler, Lamarr was so eager to join the war effort she helped invent a wireless form of communication designed to aid allies during WWII. Although Lamarr’s contributions were dismissed, and she was never compensated, her concepts eventually became the basis for Wifi, GPS, and Bluetooth technology. Using interviews from her children, friends, colleagues, and newly discovered audio tapes of Lamarr herself, this marvelous—and often infuriating documentary— unveils a complex woman of undeniable intelligence and chutzpah who finally gets her due.
