if anyone were unwise enough to commission me to dramatize the story, probably what I'd build its emotional structure around
First of all, I would love to watch that dramatization. Second, it seems from Wikipedia like the 2021 movie with Colin Firth and Matthew Macfayden does, but overeggs the pudding and turns it into a love triangle with Cholmondeley. (As in, Cholmondeley is also in love with Jean.) So, yeah, I think I'd prefer to see your version.
(Speaking of dramatizations, I learned from Wikipedia that there were apparently two other musicals about Operation Mincemeat before the one that's taken off on Broadway - one was in Welsh and focused on Glyndwr Michael, who posthumously served as the body of the operation's doomed courier - which is kind of wild.)
