Left: Susan Hayward, John Wayne, Pedro Annendariz and Leslie Bradley as they appeared in a scene from " The Conqueror ,” whose European premiere was held on February 2nd, 1956. 'TPHE Man Who Never Was tells the story of a incident during the last war. The film was based on the best selling book by the Hon. Ewen Montagu, C.B.E., Q.C., who tells that in 1943 Montagu, then a Lieutenant-Commander in Naval Intelligence, conceived the macabre idea of misleading the enemy about Allied intentions in the Mediterranean by floating ashore on the coast of Spain a body clothed in the uniform of a British major of the Marines. It was known that a German spy operated in the area of Huelva, where the body was to be " found.” The body (its real identity is still a secret) was given a "personality” and a "background" by Naval Intelligence and carried false documents and letters between Eisenhower, Mountbatten, Nye and Alexander. The whole purpose of the'" plant ” was to lead the Germans to believe that it was the Allied intention to invade Europe through Greece. The ruse was brilliant- ly successful, many thousands of German troops were transferred to Greece to counter the “ invasion ” with the result that when the Allies struck through Sicily, thousands of fives were saved. The Conqueror takes us back to the twelfth century, and was finely cast with John Wayne as Temujin, the great Genghis Khan. The fearless Mongol chieftain abducts Bortai, the daughter of a Tartar chief when on a course of plunder, war, attack and counter-attack, seeking revenge for the death of his father, which results in brilliant conquest and the love of the girl (Susan Hayward) who had hated him. This is big en- tertainment made bigger still by colour and the big H.R.H. the Duchess of Gloucester attended the charity premiere of “ The Conqueror ” at the Odeon, Marble Arch, and is seen chatting with John Wayne, who was with Bob Wolff and Mr. and Mrs. John Davis (recognised by cinemagoers as screen favourite Dinah Sheridan).
