Colin Firth, Jason Isaacs, Kelly Macdonald, Matthew Macfadyen, Penelope Wilton, and Johnny Flynn in La ruse (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.

Anecdotes
Operation Mincemeat was a massive gamble by British naval intelligence, even long after it was known the German spy network had fallen for it. A high ranking Nazi officer, thought to be Heinrich Himmler, supposedly told Adolf Hitler he had a feeling it was a deception, but his concerns were dismissed.

Gaffes
The main characters refer to "Bletchley Park" several times. In fact, during the war, Bletchley Park was known as "Station X" to hide what it was, where it was, and what work was done there. Its work was so highly classified even those within Station X knew little of what their work colleagues were engaged in. Montagu and Cholmondeley would never have known what happened there.

Citations
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.

An interesting film that has much more potential

A likeable film however I can't help but feel for the potential that it missed out on. The actors fulfilled their roles and we were able to get to know the characters.

The film often digressed from the main theme and and focused on far less relevant sub plots. Contrasting this some more interesting scenes felt to be cut short.

The film is overall above par, however I feel this could have been so much more.
