I think nearly everyone with prior knowledge of Turing either avoided and/or hated 'The Imitation Game'
I certainly don't know anyone who saw and/or liked it. Andrew Hodges was contractually tactful. I still resent that it sucked all of the funding out of the room for a Turing movie until the next God knows when. Not to mention a waste of a naturally apt title, although Ian McEwan's The Imitation Game (1981) is also obnoxious, so maybe the title is actually cursed.
iirc I saw 'Breaking the Code' via the (now broken) link on Hodges' website. It doesn't look like it's officially available to stream anywhere, but someone uploaded a copy here
Nice! Thank you.
(I discovered the link to that page was broken when I tried to add it to this post. It worked ten years ago!)
I really liked Codebreaker and the music video looks cool!
Apologies for recommending something you were likely to have seen: Codebreaker seems to have a weirdly low profile for how good it is.
There's this small number of songs about Alan Turing that just seem to come into existence at unpredictable intervals and I really appreciate them.
(I would love to see a play about Joan Clarke someday too!)
(I don't know how to interest anyone in the project. I do not know how to write plays and do not have time to learn. But I keep hoping.)
