Operation Mincemeat: Directed by John Madden. With Colin Firth, Rufus Wright, Matthew Macfadyen, Ruby Bentall. During WWII, two intelligence officers use a corpse and false papers to outwit German troops. In 1943, two British intelligence officers concoct Operation Mincemeat, wherein their plan to drop a corpse with false papers off the coast of Spain would fool Nazi spies into believing the Allied forces were planning to attack by way of Greece rather than Sicily.
