Garbo: The Spy (also known as Garbo, the Man Who Saved the World and Garbo: El Espia) is a Spanish documentary about Juan Pujol Garcia's role in the Second World War, directed by Edmon Roch.
The documentary reconstructs the career of "Garbo," who formed the centrepiece of Allied deception and counter-information to have the Nazis believe that D-Day landing would occur in Pas-de-Calais and not in Normandy.
A number of individuals are interviewed including Nigel West (the pseudonym of intelligence expert Rupert Allason) and Aline Griffith, Countess of Romanones, a former OSS agent, as well as historian Mark Seaman, investigative journalist Xavier Vinader, and psychiatrist Stan Vranckx.
