The Double Man

The Double Man is a 1967 British spy film starring Yul Brynner, with Britt Ekland, Clive Revill, Anton Diffring, Moira Lister, and Lloyd Nolan appearing in support. Directed by Franklin Schaffner, the Cold War-era plot is very loosely based on the critically acclaimed 1958 novel Legacy of a Spy by Henry S. Maxfield. Brynner is an assistant director of the CIA agent investigating his son's fatal "skiing accident" in the Austrian Alps. Piecing things together his own way, he slowly is convinced something else is happening and discovers a fiendish Russian-backed Stasi plan.
