The big fright! The eerie sight!

13 Frightened Girls (1963) follows the teenage daughter of an American diplomat who, while visiting London from her boarding school, stumbles onto a murder and sensitive political information that draw her into amateur espionage under the code name “Kitten.” As she uses her access to the international community of diplomats’ children to pass intelligence to a struggling agent, danger and Cold War intrigue blend with youthful bravado and misunderstanding. This spy thriller blends lighthearted adventure and covert tension in a quirky Cold War caper.
