The Man Who Never Was

[Sionnach]

I watched a wonderful movie over the past two days (on Netflix)- The Man Who Never Was (1956) with Clifton Webb. Based on a true WWII espionage event. There were kilted people- but just a few. However the real star of the story is a Scotman (though he never utters a line in the entire film), the man who plays his father has a great line,though- but I won't spoil it here for the rabble who wish to see it.

I will have to look into renting it.

It must be based on Ewen Montagu's book of the same name from 1954

A great read and a great (and true) story

Cheers

Yes, I believe that is correct.

I remember this movie from my childhood. The local PBS station use to run a Saturday Cinema feature where they would play 3 old movies in a row. My Grandmother always had that on Saturday afternoons (except if the Yankees were playing and we were able to tune in to the game). This is where I first saw The Man Who Never Was and Tunes of Glory.
It's a great movie,

Great movie! I remember the line I think you're talking about; it's a classic!
