Opération Copperhead, c'est une histoire aussi vraie que rocambolesque du contrespionnage britannique pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. À partir d'un fait réel, Jean Harambat crée de toutes pièces une histoire d'une inventivité folle et réalise un pastiche désopilant et fantaisiste de trois protagonistes : les comédiens David Niven, Peter Ustinov et Clifton James. Il s'agit, selon une idée de Winston Churchill, de recruter et de former un sosie (Meyrick Edward Clifton James) pour jouer le rôle du général Montgomery - le général des forces alliées, alors surveillé par les nazis - et ainsi induire en erreur l'ennemi quant au lieu réel du Débarquement. Dans le même temps, alors que la capitale anglaise subit le Blitz, la vie se déploie dans les cabarets où officie une vénéneuse - et néanmoins charmante - jeune femme, Vera. Cette histoire burlesque où rien n'est entièrement vrai ni entièrement faux est aussi un hommage au cinéma, notamment à la « comédie sophistiquée » des années 1930 et 1940, avec un dynamisme, un sens de l'à-propos et un flot de dialogues (Lubitsch en était le maître) !

"To philosophize is to learn to die," said Montaigne. But, faced with the vertiginous immensity of philosophy, sometimes we'd rather die than learn. In need of help?

When the good ship St. Nicholas sailed from the port of Piraeus, none among its crew knew this trip would be their last.

Not only was it the worst marathon in Olympic history, but you would be hard-pressed to find another event that was as scandalously bad as the 1904 marathon. This is no slight on (most of) the men who competed, because it would seem as if the race were bad by design: the organizer of the Games, James E. Sullivan, wasn't looking for the glory of competition and sportsmanship at his games, but rather evidence of white supremacy. Deprived of water, running under a blazing sun on dusty, hilly roads: it's a miracle that fourteen of the initial thirty-two competitors even completed the event. The story of this race and the athletes who took part is ludicrous, unedifying, and a terribly good time.
