The story of Elizabeth ‘Lee’ Miller, a fashion model turned respected war correspondent for Vogue magazine during World War II, exploring her journey from the fashion world to the frontlines of the war.

“The movie will never be as good as the book, both because the book goes on longer and because books are internal.”
