     It was released on 29 April in the UK and Ireland.
     Operation Mincemeat
     This stranger-than-fiction film tells the story which happened during World War Ⅱ.It sounds like the plot of a far fetched espionage （間諜） novel rather than a real-life story，because one of the officers behind the plan was Lieutenant Commander Ian Fleming，later the author of the James Bond novels.
