A Dandy in Aspic (1968)

A Dandy in Aspic is a thinking man's spy film with Laurence Harvey from 1968. This is Anthony Mann's final film, and I enjoyed it immensely. I'm almost always up for a crime film like this, and as I watched Laurence Harvey play a British double agent, I was surprised that he was never asked to play James Bond. It's odd, isn't it? He'd have been the perfect Bond. At any rate, he's great in this, and Mia Farrow is fabulous.

To be honest, I had never even heard of A Dandy in Aspic until the Criterion Channel told me I should probably watch it. I am very grateful to them. This film is great.
