The film "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind" is used to illustrate how the CIA recruits entertainers through appeals to patriotism. Jay Dyer recounts an anecdote about Christopher Lee correcting a director on the sound a person makes when stabbed in the back, citing his real-world experience as an SAS assassin. These stories serve to demonstrate the overlap between the world of high-stakes espionage and the public-facing entertainment industry.
