"A Dandy in Aspic" is a 1968 spy film, directed by Anthony Mann, based on a novel of the same name by Derek Marlowe and starring Laurence Harvey.

Essentially a Cold War thriller, it is the story of a Russian counter-espionage agent, known as Eberlin to his employers in British Intelligence, where he is working undercover for Moscow as a double agent. His superiors in Britain instruct him to find and assassinate a KGB agent named Krasnevin, believed to have killed a number of British agents.

This presents a problem for Eberlin, as he is himself Krasnevin.

Tom Courtenay appears as the ruthless and cynical British agent Gatiss, who openly distrusts and dislikes Eberlin. Mia Farrow plays a London-based photographer with whom Eberlin has an affair.

Largely filmed on location in London and Berlin, this was Anthony Mann's final film; he died before it was finished. Its direction was completed by Harvey.

The film also features an appearance by Peter Cook, at a time when his TV career was at a peak, in a minor role as the foppish but libidinous British agent, Prentiss.
