This is the last screen appearance by actor Paul Ritter who died before the film was released
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.
The story of Operation Mincemeat was previously told in the film The Man Who Never Was (1956) based on the 1953 book of the same name by Ewen Montagu.
Lt Cdrs Montagu and Fleming and Cdr Salvador-Beare wear the "wavy Navy" rank insignia of the Volunteer Reserve, in contrast to the straight rings of the regular navy officers, like Lt Jewell and Adm Godfrey. Flt Lt Cholmondeley wears the equivalent "VR" lapel insignia of the RAF.
Ian Fleming has been said to be the author of this operation which was detailed, and Fleming was given credit for, in the television mini-series Fleming (2014).
"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."
"[first lines] Ian Fleming: [narrating while typing] In any story, if it's good story, there is that which is seen, and that which is hidden. This is especially true in stories of war. Ian Fleming: There is the war we see, a contest of bombs and bullets, courage, sacrifice, and brute force, as we count the winners, the losers, and the dead. Ian Fleming: But along side that war, another war is waged. A battleground in shades of gray, played out in deception, seduction, and bad faith. The participants are strange. They are seldom what they seem, and fiction and reality blur. This war is a wilderness of mirrors in which the truth is protected by a bodyguard of lies. This is our war."
