| Operation Mincemeat |
Clever girl! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, May 11!
Our Top Pick tonight is the World War II-set movie Operation Mincemeat (Netflix, 3 a.m.), which tells the true story of how British intelligence managed to fool the Germans about the Allied invasion of Sicily. While the impressive cast includes Colin Firth, Matthew Macfadyen, Penelope Wilton, Jason Isaacs, and Paul Ritter, I'll check it out for Kelly Macdonald.
