the double man (1967)

Following the death of his son in a skiing accident in Austria. Dan Slater (Yul Bryner), a cold-hearted and high ranking CIA officer arrives for the funeral. Having collected his sons effects he realises that the death was no accident and decides to investigate. He enlists the help of a fellow operatives Frank (Clive Revill) and Gina (Britt Ekland) to help, but too late does he realise that the Russian secret service has manipulated events to replace him with a double.
A nicely paced and played out cold war spy thriller with the ever reliable support of Clive Revill and Anton Diffring.
