johannadc:markgatissappreciationsociety:We’re back! The next Mark Gatiss Appreciation Society watchalong will be this coming Saturday at 2 PM US Central/8 PM UK time. We’ll be watching Operation Mincemeat, about a WWII deception operation. The movie has been called “an engaging and well-acted wartime drama”. Mark Gatiss plays Ivor Montagu, who in real life was a filmmaker, screenwriter, Communist, and founder of the International Table Tennis Federation. He was thought to be a spy, according to Wikipedia, because his “passionate support of international ping-pong seemed so eccentric to MI5 that they assumed it had to be a cover for something else.”I’m told there’s not much Mark in this movie, but based on the few pictures I grabbed, what there is, is choice. And there’s Colin Firth to make up for it. Looking forward to this – been too long since we watched and chatted! -- source link
