Operation Mincemeat | Official Trailer | Netflix
/ netflix
Two British intelligence officers hatch an outlandish scheme to trick the Nazis and alter the course of World War II. Based on a true story of deception. - Розваги
I read this book years ago, and when I talked about this plan to others, folks thought i was crazy. That the person who invented 007 was one of the greatest heroes of WW2, with this operation. Love that its being made into a movie.
Just in case anyone wants to know the name of the book, its of the same name as the movie, and written by Ben MacIntyre.
I love to see people read a story before a movie is made based on that.

I've heard of Operation Mincemeat, but I had no idea Ian Flemming was involved in it. That's amazing. He really did author the best spy story of all time, except it wasn't a story, it really happened.
@@slapasimptribe Find The Man Who Never Was by Ewen Montagu
2 generations of Mr.Darcys in one frame is making me feel things! 🥺❤️
Same 💜
Wow, I did NOT recognize Macfadyen!
Yaassss
Omg that’s right! I had completely forgotten they were both mr Darcy! 😂
Omg yes!! That's exactly what I was thinking about!! 😍
Seeing the two most perfect renditions of Darcy working in a film together, is on the same hype level for me as the entire Marvel fanbase freaking out over all the three Peter Parker's together.
The internet better lose it's mind over Firth and McFadyen finally sharing screen time together. This is the very embodiment of "period drama icons" crossover.
AND Mr. Knightley from Emma (2020)!!
OMG YES!!!!
@@lolafisher3453 wait Johnny Flynn is in this too 🤯😳
@@lolafisher3453 just checked you're right, I was too busy drooling over the other two to see him properly. This is turning out to be an Austen fan's wet dream. I'm ridiculously hooked on to this film now.
@@something.something189 im actually so excited. i love Austen movies too much lol
I've actually heard of this Operation Mincemeat. Despite being highly unconventional, it was one of the most important missions that helped the Allies win WWII. And, yes, the Fleming involved was the Ian Fleming, the man behind Bond.
Good Joke. Russia won
World War 2 for Allies. All other things are just propaganda.
@@creepy448 It was a group effort. That's why they were called 'the Allies' instead of 'the Russians and some other guys who just happened to be on the same side.'
odd one of the replies seems censored, must have hit a raw nerve
@@dleechristy with the videos I watch it happens on every comment. It says 7 replies and only 2 are showing
Hardly "one of the most important missions". The Allies would've won the war with or without this deception. The cost might have been higher, but nothing coparable to the total losses on the eastern front.
*It's one of the most macabre stories ever. The depression and suicide of one man lead to a plan that saved thousands of lives. During World War II, Ian Fleming had mentioned to friends that he wanted to write a spy novel, but it was not until 17 Feb 1952 that he began to write his first novel, Casino Royale. One of the nuttiest schemes concocted during WWII that actually worked. I'm so excited for this. Operation Mincemeat was a fantastic story. Thank God that Netflix back with compelling drama. Love the casting!!*
But why "mincemeat?" Why not something like "sparrow" or "shade?"
Actually Ian Fleming didn’t invent the term 007, although he certainly popularized it. Dr John Dee who was, among other things, an advisor to Queen Elizabeth the first, used to sign his letters to the Queen with a 007! The 00 meant for her eyes only and the 7 was a lucky number meant to afford protection, ( he was heavily in to the occult). He was accused of spying for Queen Elizabeth on his many travels so it certainly fits!
Love the casting as well! This was supposed to be in theatres in December, then in February finally they just sold it to Netflix. Netflix did not pay for this production, it was a last minute purchase because the filmmakers were fed up with all the cancellations.
History fun fact: Ian Fleming was stationed in Lisbon (Portugal) during WW2. The Estoril Casino, which Fleming visited numerous times, provided the inspiration for the Casino Royal novel. It was in this casino just outside Lisbon, in neutral Portugal, that Axis and Allied spies played at the same tables. Each trying to find out what the other party was up to, meanwhile the Portugese secret service (commanded by dictator Antonio Salazar) was keeping an eye on both parties.
@@DutchBulldog And the famous betting scene from the movie is taking from a poker match that he was playing, where he saw Popol, a Serbian working for the british intelligence. That Popol is the inspiration for 007.
“What are you writing Flemming?”
“A spy story.”
Bit of an understatement but fair enough.
You know, just the goat 🐐 spy stories, no big deal.
Yeah considering he didn't actually write his 'spy story' until 1952 in Jamaica
@@jaytops He did say "A spy story" and not "THE spy story" after all.
@@BigMikeMcBastard Yeah, he never wrote any till '52. Nice try though.
@@jaytops He didn't write anything that was published until 1952. Doesn't account for anything before that.
Seeing that the madlads who starred as Zhukov and Beriya are in this movie, this is a must watch
My thought, too!
This is the comment I was looking for
I will never be able to unsee Beria and Zhukov in them))
I was looking for this comment :)
Lol
Colin Firth is just killing it with these period drama and so as Jason Isaacs
Oh ok, thanks teenager for your input.
Indeed, I really enjoyed "The King's Speech" and "The Death of Stalin". I watched the later so many times it's going to be weird seeing the "bad guy" from TDoS as the PM in this.
I read a whole book about this operation, and it is a wild, fantastic tale that legitimately did end up helping turn the tide for the Allied Forces. So glad they're giving it a full fledged film treatment, and so far it seems to have nailed the tone--that balance between the comedy underlining the absurdity of the situation, and the dread of those involved knowing how dire it would be should they fail.
Mind sharing which book you read?
what was the name of the book?
What is the name of the book?
The book?
@@elisagonzalezbustamante3825 The Man who Never Was and also Operation Mincemeat
Glad to see Zhukov and Beria helping out the British!
This looks great though.
"I'm gonna have to report this conversation." :D
I wonder why Comrades Khrushchev and Malenkov are missing though.
After seeing so many onscreen Churchills, that thanks to completely unchanged Beale's delivery, I can't see anyone but Beria. :-D
"Go back to Georgia, *dead boy*."
Comrade Dyatlov too. RIP Paul Ritter
:D
The original is real good, The Man Who Never Was.
One of my favorite movies.
Matthew Macfadyen's voice omg I just melt! Never knew I needed to see him on the big screen again. Incredible cast!
I haven't seen him in a movie after pride & prejudice.. I didn't recognize him from the trailer but his voice ... His voice is special! I knew it was familiar, I knew his face was familiar in the trailer but I didn't make the connection at first. This is going to be epic!
@@tinaple2756 he was in Anna karenina the movie which had Keira Knightley too. Plus lots of other movies too.
@@mimipaul7002 thank you, yes! What I meant was that I hadn't seen any of his other films but he's an amazing actor with a great career!
I just rewatched Pillars of the Earth. Pryor Phillip (Mathew) was a Boss!
I love Colin Firth. He is such a superb actor. Definitely a must see.
It's an incredible true story. A good example of what Sun Tzu said:
"All warfare is based on deception."
The original move was called "The Man Who Never Was," from 1956 -- it starred Clifton Webb, Gloria Grahame, Stephen Boyd -- I love it, it's serious, gripping, has great suspense. I'm slightly wary of the new version but I love the story so much, so I'll give it a go.
I couldn't remember the title! Thank you.
I love how in the original movie you never saw the Deadman's face, only shadows and the body. It made it more intriguing and suspenseful. Hollywood when they still had some good taste left.
@@dennischamberlin9995 I love that too!
Parts of the operation were still classified when they made the original movie. As good as it was, this version should be more accurate. The original is an absolute classic though.
Me too.
What I always found interesting about operation mincemeat was that the man whose dead body they used probably died thinking he was a nobody and perhaps a loser, yet the significance he would have on history probably could have never been fathomed by him before his death.
This HAS to be the same guy who made The Death of Stalin. Same actors, same style... I cannot wait to see this.
Netflix turning out some good films lately: Munich, the edge of war; The forgotten Battle; My best friend, Anne Franke, etc etc.
Keep em coming!
This film is a near masterpiece and very underrated. The storytelling and execution is makes this a fantastical adventure and misadventure at the same time. "The truth is protected by lies" protected by lies as well as imprisoned by lies dually. It can neither go out for a leisurely stroll nor receive visitors.
I love the wit and style in this already! Definitely on my watch list 🙏🏽
But People would still watch Witless K-Dramas
What in the alternate universe? Is that Mr.Darcy and Mr Darcy!
I really hope that this will push Netflix to push out more spy thrillers. I sorely miss John Le Carre's work adapted into cinema. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is hardly enough, we need The Honourable Schoolboy and Smiley's People as well.
The night manager got made into a tv series on Amazon! Very good!
The BBC made miniseries of "Tinker Tailor" and "Smiley's People", and they're really good!
In TTSS I always wondered what happened to “Roach”. He was after all “the best watcher in the unit, when he had his specs on”. Unfortunately LeCarre never took up that character like he did Smiley from The Spy who came in from the cold.
@@GuildNavigator84 Saw the miniseries. Nothing can come close to the adaptation of the miniseries but the movie itself was also amazing and a great way to introduce new people. Really hope they do a remake for the miniseries or more movies.
AMC’s _The Little Drummer Girl_ is likely the best adaptation of a LeCarre novel.
This movie should have been named The two Darcys.
Ahah, I was hete for this conment 😂😂
I've just realized Colin Firth and Matthew MacFeddyen are the two misters Darcy 😂😂
😂😂😂 omg haha so true
Finally the wait is over for the legendary spy work ever done in real life.
Indeed. They made this film already. In 1956. “The Man Who Never Was”
A re-make of “the man who never was.” Oh, so want to see this film.
This movie is going to be a trip for me having watched "The Death of Stalin" several times, along with "The King's Speech". So many actors that played other roles in WWII/Post WWII films.
I read about this story in a local magazine which brought world war stories every month in my local language almost 10 years ago and I was amazed by it….seeing the trailer I remembered every detail about it
good to know beria got his start as winston churchill
Colin Firth is one of our greatest actors of all time
No, he isn't.
I can't believe they're actually making a movie based on this story. So cool!
I can't believe they're releasing a War movie during this situation.
@@JonasSaleen sometimes the timing of the movie is not what producent of movie exactly expect. For example in 1986 was released in cinemas movie SpaceCamp, about 5 month after Challenger disaster. Movie of course flopped and they know about that, however usuallly during production of movie, they already had contracted distributors so there was not much to do with that during that time.
It's a REMAKE of a 1956 film. The Man Who Never Was.
The speech at the end is dazzlingly narrated .
goosebumps . Brilliant !!!
To think that Christopher lee was a part of this operation as well and to be Ian’s inspiration for bond is just amazing!
Wow a historical Netflix movie that hasn’t replaced the real historical people with a diverse cast, ground breaking!
I love how Netflix is getting into WW2 with quality movies.
Its all Propaganda machinery
give it time, 2 or three 3 good ones and Churchill will be played by Whoppi Goldberg
@@artemas9336 ☠️😂 Nah they just excommunicated their woke employees so hopefully unlikely!
I was just in Normandy touring D-Day beaches three days ago when I first learned of Op Mincemeat. I look forward to watching this
The Operation that inspired the creation of an iconic Spy novel. Isn't it amazing to know that one of the person who helped put together this military operation, would create the most iconic Spy novel in history.
Love that Ian Fleming's writing James Bond in this movie
Colin Firth and Matt Macfayden the two greatest Darcys in the same frame oh my GOD
I was so happy to see this video in my recommendation, mincemeat is one of the most interesting intelligence operations out there.
Oh wow, Johnny Flynn is unrecognizable in every way but his voice. This looks great.
I cannot wait for this. Thank you Netflix. I love war, historically accurate movies like this. I'll buy every single one
M2
I read about this operation some years back, an awesomely nuanced plan, which fortunately played out to perfection!
This looks amazing! I’ll definitely be checking this out.
I first learned about Operation Mincemeat from The Dark Secret Place podcast and about the film The Man Who Never Was. Looking forward to this adaptation.
If you like to read about this sort of intelligence history, look up "Camp X" which was a joint allied training center in Canada just east of Toronto on the shore of Lake Ontario (Oshawa). It was so secret that the Canadian Prime Minister was not informed of its existence at the start. Wild Bill Donovan, OSS, Fairbairn, Sykes, all played a hand. All that's left of it is a plaque. Ian Fleming was possibly a trainee or at least a visitor.
Thanks for the information Charlie. I grew up in Michigan, and traveled to Drummondville, Quebec about a half dozen times, so I am familiar with the area east of Toronto.
From what I read, Fleming wrote a large part of the training manual used at Camp X.
I found a historical TV series about camp x
Guess I’ll be digging in there . Thanks Canada
Charlie, thank you very much for highlighting one of the Canadian contributions that lead to the Allied victory during WW II.
True
Two actors who played Mr Darcy- in one film.. that's what caught my eye first.
Same
I never heard of it but after watching the trailer I can't wait to see it!!
Am I the only one who wants there to be a WWII cinematic universe: Gary Oldman always playing Churchill because of Darkest Hour, Colin Firth always playing King George VI because of The Kings Speech? Integrate Dunkirk and The Imitation Game in there too
Actually there was a Tumblr(?) thread a few years ago that suggested something similar using Saving Private Ryan, Pearl Harbor, Midway, Flags of Our Fathers and Letters from Iwo Jima; with Band of Brothers and The Pacific being the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. equivalents.
I’m so ok with this
Yesssss! And Jodie Comer as "Lady Death" Lyudmilla Pavlichenko and Olivia Colman as Eleanor Roosevelt.
Wow. I heard of this ploy in a book a few months ago, but never knew that so much thought had to go into it and that it was called "Operation Mincemeat'. Also, Jason Isaacs and Simon Russell back together in a military movie and in pretty similar roles?!
I read about this when I was in high school 4 decades ago. Glad to see it mad into a movie.
My two Darcys...like omgosh...the cast, the trailer the dialogue.
I always thought that this operation was out of a spy movie and now they are making one. Plus, I love the actors playing it. Hopefully it's a good one.
I was 15 yo, Matthew and Colin were my two favourite actors (I love them still of course). This is like a dream that comes true, I am so emotional right now, like it is happening FOR REAL. I am crying 🤧🤧💔💔
“From the Producers of the Kings Speech”- that’s all I needed to see. Bring on May 11
This is one of my favorite books of all time!! I can't believe it's finally a movie!
Now if someone will make "Agent Zigzag" into a movie, I'll really be stoked!
I'm sure it will be factually more accurate than its predecessor, and I'll make no further comment until
I've actually seen it, but I have to say that 'The Man Who Never Was' (1956) is still one of my all-time favourite War films!
I’m so looking forward to this movie. Operation Mincemeat was a brilliant plan. No one does espionage better than the Brits!
Love from America. 💛
And it was just the start of the spying game. To this day, espionage and counter intelligence really only has four big players - the British, the Americans, the Russians and the Chinese.
The KGB was right up there with MI6.
So excited for this. It was overdue for a high quality depiction.
Matthew Macfayden deserves this role! So happy to see him!
I had known little bits of Operation Mincemeat here and there but learned all about this incredible story from season one of Brian Brushwood's podcast "World's Greatest Con". I can't wait for even more to see how this truth is so much crazier than most fiction we could write.
Great that you heard the podcast! I follow his buddy Justin R Young's podcasts and when I heard the World's Greatest Con advertised, I decided to listen to the first episode to see how it was. It blew me away and I listened to the whole series as they were released. Brushwood's style of giving the listener the story was awesome.
One of the most hilarious and though-provoking disinformation missions ever conducted, now on film.
PS: Jason Isaacs and Simon Beale both starred in The Death of Stalin as Soviet war hero Georgy Zhukov and Lavrenti Beria respectively.
"The Death of Stalin" was one of the better piece of dark comedy in recent years. Loved that film.
'The man who never was '.....a most excellent 50's film on this subject.
I have a book about this. Absolutely fascinating and pure brilliance in the minds of these people.
Just throwing this out there randomly, but The Phantom Major needs a film adaptation with Ewan McGregor as David Stirling.
Boom 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Another Masterpiece Loading 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Netflix Never Disappoints with its Content ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
What a bloody terrific cast, oh my!
Netflix has been turning out a lot of great world war 2 movies. Thanks for that 🙏
I just realized who Fleming's spy story is going to be about. Indubitably much of his backstory and inspiration was influenced by this operation, that's so cool
For those of you who hasn't realized yet, at 1:58 he shout "In God's name, Fleming, what are you writing!?" Which then Fleming answered "Spy stories". This is a reference to James Bond's creator, Ian Fleming.
No wonder why James bond is such an iconic character.. it's literally written by a legit one...
Correction, he says "Spy story" and if you watch or have already seen this film, you'll know that the 'spy story' he is writing is the narration in the film.
Nice to see Jason Isaacs and Simon Russel together at the screen again. Loved their acting in Death of Stalin!
After watching Mr Ballen story that is how I arrived here and now I'm definitely going to watch "Operation Mincemeat". Thank Mr B for sending me your way 😎💪🏾
Brits carried WW2, their intelligence and courage is unbelievable. Imagine in 1939 and 1940, They were all alone and still churchill wont give up even if the germans keep bombing his country for the whole year in 1940 .
IT WAS INDIANS WHO FORCED BY BRITS TO GIVE THEIR FOOD AND WEAPONS TO BRITS. MILLIONS DIED IN INDIA COZ OF FAMINE OTHERS DIED FIGHTING IN AFRICA PACIFIC FOR BRITS. THEY WERE MANY THING BUT BRAVE
@@JasbirSingh-ny3tn Grossly incorrect. It is publicly documented just how much Churchill did to try and help the Bengalis with their famine. He wrote to FDR multiple times because he simply didn’t know what more could be done on his part to help. India demanded more food than the British had estimated they would need, they re-arranged shipments from Canada to Australia, to reduce transport time of months to a matter of weeks. Everything the British did contradicts your comment and the evident misinformed hatred that’s behind it. Your view on history is a warped one, to say the least.
I remember seeing this movie about this when I was a kid. In black and white, it was made in the 1950s, I think, and I thought it was most amazing story. Can't wait for this.
I have seen this movie as well. Great story!
What was the title of the 1950s movie?
It was made in 1956 and called "The Man Who Never Was."
@@mrsmucha Thank you! I couldn't remember the name. I always thought that was such a clever name.
Read about this operation many times in war books growing up.
Be interesting to watch
when i first heard of this operation years ago i was hoping they would make a movie out of it....really excited to see the result!
They made a film about it in 1956. The Man Who Never Was.
Glad that Tom Scott filled us all in on Op-Mincemeat before the mission was chronicled on film.
Ben McIntyre’s book of the same name, on which this film is based, is magnificent, a must read. If the movie is half as good it will be spectacular.
love seeing Colin Firth and Matthew Macfadyen together on a film. really excited for this film.
When i first heard about this Story I was hoping for a Movie to be made! I highly anticipate this.
Been waiting patiently for this film to be released as I love the original 1956 "The Man Who Never Was": same story, different title. The '56 film is a classic and this will have to come a long way to rise above that original. PS: I will see it in a cinema if offered the chance - nothing like the big screen.
Great ensemble of actors expecting a masterclass
I just watched this movie. It's very intelligent, which I like, and now sits atop of my favorite movies, war or otherwise. I've learned that we will never know exactly what happens behind the scenes, whether in relationships, war, or much of anything else. I've read quite a bit about WW2 over the last sixty years and even knew of this story, superficially, a long time ago. More has been divulged of it over time, but I'm still astonished at the complexity and daring. Little wonder that Ian Fleming is an important, and real, character in this story and how he was so greatly influenced by it.
One of my friends worked on costumes for this film, so happy for her.
so pumped this is becoming a movie. Amazing war-time story not many people know of. AND THE CAST!
Yup. I saw a documentary on this a little while back and was blown away I had never heard of it before.
Hell yeah the cast seems amazing!!
Ohhh...another world war 2 film that most people won't watch
Give us something new, Netflix !!!!
Zhukov working for Beria in this movie? Wow.
Adored both the book and the old film about 'The Man Who Never Was', also based on this true event. Can't wait to see how it's handled this time too -- what a great cast and director!
Wait for something better.
Different people, different tastes. Someone gives it a 5/10 because he's cranky, another gives it 8/10. I never watched the ancient movie from 1956, maybe I will to see what all the fuss is about. This one was great.
One of the best recruitments in history
A dead man, who saved tens of thousands of people
I can’t wait to watch this! What an extraordinary cast.
This corpse idea is one of the most brilliant ideas ever conceived in military history.
It's hilarious to see some familiar faces because some of the actors like Colin Firth are playing Ewen Montagu but he also played King George VI in the King's Speech and Jason Isaacs played John Godfrey but then he also played General Zhukov in the Death of Stalin.
I wrote my masters thesis on deception and this operation was one of the main sources! So excited to see this!!!!!
How do we know your telling us the truth if you are a master of deception??
Speechless ( yet that was a word, not a SPEECH )
the thing i didnt know i needed: two mr darcys - well, actually three full austen men- in an historical war film together
plus, a slytherin and a ravenclaw, for good measure
It's about time someone made this into a movie!
Good to see that Lavrentiy Beria and Marshal Zhukov have got over their differences and are now supporting the British to win the war!
Ha!
00:38 - 00:44 So Beria meets Zhukov again
I'm very excited about this but not quite as excited as seeing a Mr. Darcy double face-off. Is Kelly McDonald playing Elizabeth Bennett?
Seeing Mr. Darcy’s and Lucius Malfoy in the same room is something I never thought I needed but now can’t live without 🥰
Amazing! I first heard about Operation Mincemeat on the "Stuff You Should Know" podcast, excited to watch it as a movie. If you haven't listened to the podcast, I'd recommend it before watching!
Me too! I listen to that episode about once a year, amazing story. Excited to see this movie.
"Manners Maketh Man" 👌👌
