A Dandy in Aspic is a 1968 neo-noir Cold War spy thriller based on Derek Marlowe's 1968 novel, filmed on location in London and West Berlin following a British double agent played by Laurence Harvey who is hired to kill a Soviet assassin that turns out to be himself. When director Anthony Mann died during production, Harvey took over directing himself.
