Operation Mincemeat
'Major Martin' (Real name Glyndwr Michael, Cardiff, Wales, aka "The Man Who Never Was")
  The man who first thought it up, but his idea was shelved until it was later revived .... Ian Fleming The men who commanded the operation. Squadron Leader Charles Cholmondely, RAFVR (pronounced “Chumly”) & Lieutenant Commander Ewan Montague RNVR.
   Clifton Webb & Robert Flemyng in "The Man Who Never Was". Some way short of a factual account of the proceedings.  R. I. P.

Mark David Chapman, who, in my opinion, committed one of the worst crimes in history.  Jared Leto played Chapman in CHAPTER 27  |

Speaking of terrible, murdering, scum of the earth personages ... BUNDY (2002)  That's that nice Mark Harmon on the right Michael Reilly Burke was chilling yet pathetic as serial killer Ted Bundy in Matthew Bright's controversial pro-death penalty biopic 'Bundy' (2002). |

petrolino Thanks .. Gibbs was in the earlier story The Deliberate Stranger (1986) Title with original image above is now fixed and linked. Here's the 2002 version with Michael Reilly Burke  That's the one : a strange, disturbing true life serial killer biopic like no other, hard to watch, but confrontational and thought-provoking. |

petrolino Bundy is a guy so seemingly like ordinary people that knowing about him is really REALLY scary. I don't think I want to know more about him. I think I have seen enough <shudder> ! The 2002 DOES look interesting tho'

Diana Dors Played by Keeley Hawes in "The Blonde Bombshell"  Ruth Ellis (The last woman officially hanged for murder in the UK)  Diana Dors in "Yield to the Night", a pastiche on the fate of Ruth Ellis....  ...proving to critics that the young DD had great acting ability as well as looks and curves. Terrific and poignant movie. Diana Dors appeared in "Godiva Rides Again", in which Ruth Ellis had a small uncredited role.
Also Miranda Richardson as Ruth in...
