The Man Who Never Was**  
(GB 1955)
Twentieth Century Fox/Sumar. 103m. Cinemascope

The true story of how in 1943 British Naval Intelligence devised a means of distracting enemy attention from the invasion of Sicily by planting false information on a fictitious soldier 'Major William Martin'.
The subsequent espionage intrigue involving a German agent is the only fictionalisation in an otherwise interesting, slightly solemn war drama (in unison with the gravity of its subject matter), lacking a certain amount of British self-deprecation or humour, but certainly a pleasantly unusual item to have come out from a Hollywood studio only ten years after the war itself.
