Watched Operation Mincemeat the other night on Netflix. True story from WWII about a deception using a corpse carrying fake I.D. and fake "secret" papers to try to divert German troops away from Sicily which the Allied Forces were about to invade (1943) to get a foothold back in Europe. Decent watch but I preferred the original film from the 50s The Man Who Never Was, although with the passing of time and the release of more factual info, the more recent film is probably more accurate, based as it is on a book on the operation by Ben MacIntyre. Kelly Macdonald plays the lead female but her attempt at a cut glass English accent doesn't quite cut the mustard.
