CHEYNEY: Spy thriller in the works

This past week, the World War II spy thriller "Miss Atkins' War" was being shot at the Newlin Grist Mill in Cheyney. Vera Atkins, who died at age 92 in 2000, was a British intelligence officer who recruited spies for Winston Churchill and was in charge of the agents who parachuted into France to sabotage the Nazis. She is supposedly the model for "Miss Moneypenny" of the James Bond series.
Lou Mandich of Last Chance Garage in Unionville took one of his period cars, a 1938 Hudson, to the set to add some authenticity. He told me that the film production moved to New York State but will return to our area later this month.
