Operation Mincemeat
We very much enjoyed seeing on the big screen the newly released Warner Bros film Operation Mincemeat with a lovely Imperial "Good Companion" No 1 portable typewriter which we supplied being typed on by the actor Colin Firth in the scenes in his home study.
The film has plenty to offer anyone wanting to see British World War 2 wartime offices with many typewriters, coloured bakelite phones and wall maps. With a star studded cast it tells the story of one of the greatest war time intelligence deceptions of all time.
Directed by John Madden from the story written by Ben Macintyre.
