Following the record-breaking success of 'The Duke' Beer Film Society will be showing another top British film at the Mariners' Hall on Thursday, September 15 – 'Operation Mincemeat' (12).

Starring Colin Firth, Matthew Macfadyen, Jason Isaacs, Penelope Wilton and Kelly Macdonald the film tells the amazing true story of a deception conceived by British Intelligence to fool the Germans regarding the true target for the Allied invasion of Sicily in 1943.

Even legendary James Bond author Ian Fleming (Johnny Flynn) makes an appearance!

What the critics say

Danny Leigh (Financial Times): "The wholesome mood of spiffing pluck reminds us of the best of those British war movies actually made within shouting distance of 1945, before the country turned the genre into an industry."

Stephanie Zacharek (TIME Magazine): "It works beautifully as a romance, (and) it's also a cracking espionage caper.
