Colin Firth, Jason Isaacs, Kelly Macdonald, Matthew Macfadyen, Penelope Wilton, and Johnny Flynn in Operaatio Mincemeat (2021)
It's 1943. The Allies are determined to break Hitler's grip on occupied Europe and plan an all-out assault on Sicily; but they face an impossible challenge - how to protect a massive invasion force from potential massacre.

It falls to two remarkable intelligence officers, Ewen Montagu and Charles Cholmondeley, to dream the most inspired and improbable disinformation strategy of the war - centred on the most unlikely of secret agents: a dead man.

    Storyline

    • Trivia
      During Operation Market-Garden, the Allied invasion of Holland in September 1944 (fourteen months after Operation Mincemeat and the invasion of Sicily), a British staff officer brought a complete Corps-level operations order with maps and graphics, which was never supposed to leave Britain, with him on a transport glider and then inadvertently left it on the glider when it landed in Holland. The Germans eventually overran the glider landing zone and found the operations order. But due to Operation Mincemeat, they were so convinced that this was another set of fake documents planted for deception by the British, and actually maneuvered contrary to what the documents indicated for the first few days of the battle. This was included in Yksi silta liikaa (1977), a movie about Operation Market-Garden.
    • Goofs
      When the three British officers arrive at the submarine base, the two Royal Navy officers salute palm down, while the RAF officer salutes palm out. This is correct; the form of a hand salute is different between the two services.
    • Quotes

      Ewen Montagu: But the real tribute tonight goes to Iris, my brilliant wife, who in the morning sails to less troubled shores with our nestlings in tow. Iris is wiser than Solomon, stronger than Samson, and more patient than Job. But she has to be. She's married to me.

    Good but unnecessary subplots
    There is a better film here but some unnecessary side plots - oh well, that romantic thing took the focus so many times - are really distracting.

    Some very good moments, great acting, very tense on its third act, but the first was confusing and full of exposition. Good enough but I was expecting better.
