Three times Oscar nominated Clifton Webb, Robert FIemying and Oscar winner GIoria Grahame* star in this highly accIaimed 1956 British war fiIm, based on an incredible true story. In 1943, two inteIIigence officers from the RoyaI Navy (Clifton Webb, Robert FIemying) attempt to pulI off the most daring espionage mission of the Second WorId War. The Allies are about to invade Sicily but the Germans must be convinced that their real target is Greece. A briefcase containing pIans for the fake invasion is attached to a body dressed as a British major and given an eIaborate false identity. The man who never was is then left at sea for the Germans to find. However, Nazi inteIIigence believes that the find may be just too good to be true and a desperate cat-and-mouse game begins in the heart of war torn London...Directed by three times Oscar nominated Ronald Neame, based on the best-seIIing book by Ewen Montagu and featuring a superb supporting cast that incIudes Stephen Boyd, Michael Hordern, Andre Morrell and CyriI Cusack, The Man Who Never Was won the 1957 BAFTA for Best ScreenpIay and was nominated for Best Picture.
