THE IMPOSSIBLE SPY - Decoded!

Dan and Tom are joined by Dr. Wesley Britton to decode the 1987 movie THE IMPOSSIBLE SPY. This movie tells the story of a real Israeli spy, Elie Cohen. Without a doubt, he was one of the most successful spies in history. Is this movie worth a watch?

This episode has two sections. First, we discuss with Dr. Wesley Britton some of the information about Elie's story and the making of the movie. Then, we decode the movie in depth.

Dr. Britton is the host of the online radio show and Podcast, "Flashback with Wes Britton" He has also written multiple books about spies in television, the movies, and real-life including Beyond Bond: Spies in Fiction and Film and Onscreen and Undercover: The Ultimate Book of Movie Espionage. We have used both of these books in developing our podcasts. And, his website SpywiseSecretDossier.com is a treasure trove of information on spies.

Elie Cohen's story is a compelling look at real-world spycraft and dealing with spying while at the same time having a wife and children.
