Admiral John Godfrey was in favor of Operation Mincemeat from the beginning.	Admiral John Godfrey does not like the Mincemeat plan, but allows it to go ahead. He is the film's primary antagonist.
Montagu confers with Bernard Spilsbury about passing a dead body from poisoning as a drowning victim. Spilsbury says it is not a problem and there are no skillful coroners in Spain that could detect the difference. He is wrong on both counts as his skills are fading with age and technological improvements.	Bernard Spilsbury is not in the film. Bentley Purchase says a highly skilled coroner would be needed to tell how Glyndor Michael died.
Mrs. Montagu and her children are sent to America at the beginning of WWII as they are Jewish and targets of the Nazis if they should invade.	Montagu sends his wife and children to America a few years after the war has started.
Jean Lesie is already gainfully employed in MI5 and requests no other duties.	Cholmondeley approaches Jean Leslie in their office for a photo of Martin's fake girlfriend “Pam”. She gives up a photograph, in exchange for a “place at the table”.
Captain Ronnie Reed of MI5 is photographed for Major Martin's ID card.	They use Jean Leslie's American boyfriend, Sgt Dearborn.
