...was ultimately a brilliant plan that saved thousands of Allied lives, it was also completely ridiculous — and thank God there was just enough space for ridiculous in certain war rooms.

Good story on what must have been a deception of deceptions. Heartwarming characters and worked watching as a couple .

... a gift to storytellers. It’s a minor but significant chapter of World War II that would seem far-fetched if it wasn’t, in fact, actual history...

It's a good idea of a film. To use this true event to make metaremark on how to chanalize own dreams into a character in fiction. But it's 30 minutes too long and bit too slow paced at times

In the midst of World War II, two British intelligence officers, Ewen Montagu and Charles Cholmondeley, hatch an unorthodox plan to deceive the Nazis and change the course of the war. They use a corpse and false papers to create a fake identity for a nonexistent officer, Major William Martin, who they claim is carrying top-secret information about an impending invasion. As they work to implement their plan, tensions rise between Montagu and Cholmondeley as they both develop feelings for their secretary Jean. Meanwhile, Godfrey, their superior officer suspects Montagu's brother of being a Soviet spy and enlists Cholmondeley to spy on Montagu in exchange for locating his missing brother. The operation faces numerous challenges as they try to get the fake documents to Madrid while keeping their true identities hidden from German agents hot on their trail.
