His body is put into the sea where it will ultimately drift ashore and the papers be passed along to German Intelligence.
Directed by Ronald Neame. Starring Clifton Webb, Gloria Grahame, Robert Flemyng, Josephine Griffin and Stephen Boyd.
Lyradrift plots The Man Who Never Was as a star at the centre of its own sky, with related films orbiting it as satellites, gathered from TMDB recommendations, shared themes, Wikidata links (same director, writer, series, source material or subject) and closeness of feel, then chosen for the strongest evidence — the closer and brighter a star, the more strongly it is related. Fly to any satellite to make it the new centre and keep exploring.
