kitneill I saw this movie when it first came out and talked my way into getting a VHS (it wasn't yet common). I just saw it again yesterday, while seeing what I wanted to copy over to DVD. Really great, a nice TV movie - and based on ending, an unsold pilot. Since then Kate Capshaw married Steven Spielberg and Jeroen Krabbe went on to appear in many high-budget films. As a bonus I wrote Krabbe a fan letter and he sent me a very nice note on a postcard showing one of his paintings - he's quite talented. I became a fan and still am.Her Secret Life aka Code Name: Dancer is terrific entertainment. Who doesn't love a great spy movie with romance?

ervin-kosch I admit I liked this guilty pleasure. The plot is a little hard to follow because it jumps back and forth in time and everyone looks the same in all times. All the sets looked like they we're shoot in the 'burbs of Miami, not in Cuba. Also everyone was supposed to be Cuban; Kate Capshaw was about as white as they come in this film.Putting those fopas aside, the story is a fairly complex affair that spans 8+ years. It involved a spy who got out of 'The Company' many years before. Now Dancer, a fellow spy, has collected on a favor of saving the leads' life some years in the past.Decent camera work, mildly compelling story, good acting, and good sound led to an enjoyable Monday night flick. Just don't expect this to be the next James Bond. After all, I did get the film as a double feature in a $1 bargain bin.BTW: I did learn a couple of things in this film: Cubans can hotwire anything (a quote from the movie) and Russian spy's are very slow and can't aim worth a darn.

Mikie1950 I purchased several DVDs from an overstock store for less than two bucks apiece. The back of the cover for this DVD promised a Cuban spy story. I did not realize until later that this was a TV movie. I think it was shot directly to video because the projected image (6' horizontal, 4:3) was quite poor and did not compare to the image from a DVD made under more modern processes. The poor quality of the video was overshadowed by an excellent cast, a very decent story line and great direction and production. This reminds me of Alfred Hitchcock's "Topaz" where the American agent goes into Cuba to get information on the Russians. He has to depend on an old flame to help him out.If you like spy stories and watch this on a screen no larger than 27" you will probably enjoy it as well as I did if not more. There seems to me that there is a real shortage of spy stories out on DVD. I eat them up.

niki87 This movie is billed as a thriller but it has everything except comedy. I've always been fascinated by Cuba and am a die hard romantic. With the excitement of the CIA, thrill of a double cross, suspense of who & why, and the sexual tension between the two main characters that leave you wanting more, this movie just has it all. Kate Capshaw is beautiful & becomes the character she's portraying. Jeroen Krabbe is as handsome & rugged as his character & perfect in the role. There isn't a lot of blood & guts, foul language or even big crash scenes but you don't need them. The plot & the acting says it all. I can't say enough about this movie & the actors. I saw it when it first aired on TV & thought for sure it was a pilot & kept waiting for the series. I searched for about 10 years to find a copy & just got mine today. It was even better than I remembered.
