The Man Who Never Was (1956)

Description

BRILLIANT ESPIONAGE HELPS WIN WWII Clifton Webb stars in this fascinating account of a daring intelligence operation prior to the 1943 Allied invasion of Sicily. Lt. Commander Montagu (Webb) plants letters regarding the British intention to land in Greece on a dead soldier outfitted to look like an English officer, knowing 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 determine the dead man’s identity. Directed by Ronald Neame, and co-starring Gloria Grahame and Stephen Boyd, The Man Who Never Was is a riveting tale of wartime espionage.
