#1 ...The identity of The Man Who Never Was has been known for about 25 years now, and the article points that out. Truly hoping this isn't an effort to jump on the bandwagon of the upcoming movie (which, by the by, I cannot wait to see).

NMBS,

Not exactly - the Clifton Webb version, The Man Who Never Was, still holds up as a great flick but was made in 1956 when a lot of the details were still classified. This will cover the same story, but hopefully with more detail.
