It’s early in 1943 and the British intelligence services have been tasked with devising different ideas to turn the tide of World War II. While various plans are put into motion, the most outlandish concept is put forward by none other than writer Ian Fleming who would go on to author James Bond. His plan involves planting a washed-up corpse on a Spanish beach with fake documents which will lead the German troops to abandoning their stronghold in Sicily and preparing for a false attack elsewhere, allowing the British army to advance. Despite the commanding officer’s skepticism and reluctance, Churchill appears a fan of the proposal and so the intelligence officers are tasked with finding a corpse, creating a backstory, and writing forged letters. And if the success of the scheme wasn’t improbable enough, events are further complicated when the two main players driving it forward both develop romantic feelings for the same colleague. ‘Operation Mincemeat’ is a lively, inventive, and engaging adaptation of a book based on the true spy story.
