The Double Man is a 1967 British spy film directed by Franklin Schaffner, starring Yul Brynner. Britt Ekland, Clive Revill, Anton Diffring, Moira Lister, and Lloyd Nolan appear in support.
The plot is very loosely based on the critically acclaimed 1958 novel Legacy of a Spy by Henry S. Maxfield. As in the novel, much of the action takes place in the Austrian Alps. Brynner is a CIA agent investigating his son's fatal "accident": although he learns a few things from others, he slowly is convinced something else is happening and discovers a fiendish Russian plan.
