In this spy thriller about a Navy captain who allows himself to be seduced by a villainess, there are three named female characters: Peg Williams, the vamp; Dolores, the second lead's love interest; and Mrs. Decatur, the captain's wife who has no first name.

The one exchange among them comes in a brief scene where Peg Williams tells Mrs. Decatur, "The laughter of children is the sweetest music! Your home life is so beautiful ---- it recalls my lost happiness!" Since one of the kids is a boy and the "home life" includes the husband, I'm grading accordingly.
