Default Alex Schottland: The Two-Headed Spy (1958)
Like there are question marks over who was The Man Who Never Was, I was wondering if anyone could shed any light on Jack Hawkins double-agent in The Two-Headed Spy (1958)? I've checked online and there's nothing on Wiki and only an ongoing debate of claim and counter-claim on imdb. Surely if such activities were true there'd have been a biography and documentary on such a character.


Tho, I recall the MoD still hasn't released secret papers relating to some WWII agents.

Definitely a true story. The character the film was based on, used to live in a block of flats just around the corner from Baker Street tube station in London. An Uncle of mine pointed him out to me in the very early 1960's.

I watched this the other night and am amazed that if this is a true story it is not better known. Excellent film anyway.
