Have seen this and it is a superb film , read the book of the true story it was based on too - this film does a better job than the new film 'Operation Mincemeat' which IMHO isn't as good as this one. As is quite often the case , the original is the best.

Have not seen this film in 40+ years, was thrilled to see I could even get it on BluRay. Still a brilliant film. Great price & quickly delivered. Thank you.

"The Man Who Never Was" remains one of the most enduring World War II espionage movies of all time, focusing on the true story of 'Major William Martin' and the thousands of lives he saved as the war effort moved to pin Hitler down during his march through Europe. Having grown up with the movie on poor VHS recordings and later an imported DVD release, I was keen to see how the Blu-Ray transfer would measure up and pleased to say, it is superb. While not every bit of grain has been removed, you wouldn't want that anyway, what has been achieved however is an improvement of colour, depth, tone and overall flavour of the piece that clearly defines the studio and outdoor sequences (the studio shots look glorious). There isn't much in the way of special features but, if you know the movie and its jaded 'release' history then you'll know that the fact this overlooked gem has finally been given the Blu-Ray treatment is a special feature in itself. As enjoyable as the first time I saw it, the Blu-Ray release is definitely worthwhile if you has this on DVD already, I found the sound and picture quality to be well worthy of the modest price tag.
