Can't think where to put this post so I'll go for the 'Kiss of Death.'
Yesterday I watched an old British war moving made in 1957 which I suspect many here have seen at one time or another. "The Man who Never Was" based on the true story of 'Operation Mincemeat.'
Curious I went to IMDB to find out more about the making of this film. Some interesting facts:
The actual principle character in charge of the operation, Ewen Montagu, has a cameo part in the film.
Peter Sellers, (uncredited) did the voice of Churchill.
Even more interesting from the point of view of this site:
"The vessel used to deploy the body in the sea during in the real Operation Mincemeat was the S class submarine P219 HMS Seraph, the same vessel reprises its roll for the film."
