Based on a true story of how the allies wanted to invade Scilly so they created a fake story of how the were going to invade Greece to throw Hitler off the scent of what they were really attempting to do. They planted fake papers on a corpse and dropped the body into the sea with the expectation that it would wash up on the shore of a beach in Spain and eventually the papers would be read by the German military. There's a lot of British stiff upper lip, social niceties and people puffing away on cigarettes while doing their work which at times seemed to give the film a touch of authenticity and at other times seemed just to be playing up to stereotypes for the sake of it. It's a fascinating story but not especially gripping.</blockquote>
