Brilliant Espionage Helps Win WWII

Clifton Webb stars in this fascinating account of a daring intelligence operation designed to mislead the Nazis prior to the 1943 Allied invasion of Sicily. Lt. Commander Montagu (Webb) plants letteres regarding the British intention to land in Greece on a dead soldier outfitted to look like an English officer, knowing that the papers will ultimately fall into German hands. What follows is a taut cat-and-mouse game as British Intelligence races to stay one step ahead of the Nazi agent dispatched to verify the dead man's identity. Directed by Ronald Neame, and co-starring Gloria Graham and Stephen Boyd, The Man Who Never Was is a riveting tale of wartime heroics.
