Question: Is the Spanish flag seen on the building in Huelva the accurate one used during Franco's regime or the modern one?
Operation Mincemeat (2021)
1 question
Directed by: John Madden
Starring: Colin Firth, Matthew Macfadyen, Kelly Macdonald
Other mistake: The body of a man is dropped from a plane into the sea with fake documents to mislead Germans. To convince the enemy that he's a soldier, cause of death needs to pass for drowning. The first drowned corpse viewed has no legs, so Firth keeps looking. He's told that a man who took rat poison to end his life is a good fit since the poison is undetectable. However, no mention is made of the fact that there is no sea water in his lungs - something any coroner would discover. (01:43:40)
