Nice and sentimental, but perhaps, in the light of the fact that it was Polish cryptographers Marian Rejewski, Jerzy Rózycki and Henryk Zygalski who in 1932 deciphered Enigma, the present plotting is not very fair, is it?

What a different Kate Winslett there! It is a great pleasure to watch the actors who, unlike others who always play the same role themselves can incarnate so many different characters!
