Women in the Night (1948) is an American World War II drama directed by William Rowland, featuring Tala Birell, Virginia Christine, Richard Loo, and Frances Rafferty.
Set in Shanghai during the final days of WWII, the story follows a group of women—some prisoners, some coerced collaborators—caught in the middle of a Nazi spy operation attempting to develop a secret radio‑controlled weapon.
As the women struggle to survive, they become entangled in espionage, betrayal, and resistance efforts against the collapsing Axis forces. The film blends melodrama with wartime intrigue and reflects postwar Hollywood’s fascination with international spy plots.
