A Dandy of Spy-Schtick
Very entertaining late 60’s Cold War romp through Britain and Germany. Excellent realism (Russian agent heroin user who longs for home simultaneously with the next hit!) and Laurence Harvey’s cold, matter-of-fact demeanor as the disgruntled agent who is pretty much fed up with the whole political spy scene. He turned out to be a super choice for this role!

Also, Mia Farrow is excellent as the ditsy, naive “bird” who takes a fancy to LH’s counterpoint character. But the real kudos go to Peter Cook, the mod devil-may-care chap who supplies to LH all the pertinent spy goings-on with a mordant, off-color humorous style. (Note his playboy flirtations juxtaposed with his serious delineations of Home Office tidbits to LH at the penthouse tower bar in Germany.) Lionel Stander gets in a good dry line or two as a Russian agent who confronts LH in Germany. Quincy Jones gets my musical kudos for the tasteful soundtrack! Finally, the ending is also tastefully done, all too apropos for LH’s downward spiraling lifestyle.

Complex Spy Drama!
“A Dandy in Aspic” is another of those 60s cold war spy vs. spy stories. It’s notable as being Director Anthony Mann’s final film as he died during the filming.

Three British agents have been murdered by an Russian assassin known as Krasnevin. Alexander Eberlin (Lawrence Harvey) who in reality IS Krasnevin longs to return to Moscow. Things get complicated when boss spy Fraser (Harry Andrews) assigns Eberlin the task of taking out Krasnevin. Fraser assigns Gattis (Tom Courtenay) to assist Eberlin in his task. In the meantime Eberlin has met the young Caroline (Mia Farrow) with whom he takes an interest.

Fraser has identified Eberlin’s Russian contact Pavel as Krasnevin. Eberlin goes to Pavel’s apartment with the intent to kill him but cannot. As he leaves the drug addicted Pavel behind, Pavel is taken by unknown assailants. He is later found dead and is proven not to be Krasnevin. Later in Germany, Eberlin attempts to cross over to East Berlin but is refused entry. The Russians believe that he is more valuable in England. Caroline pops up with her assistant Nevil (Richard O’Sullivan) in Germany. Eberlin and Caroline begin an affair when she throws herself into his arms. Eberlin is suspicious.

Gattis is impatient for Eberlin to complete his task. Prentiss (Peter Cook) is also working the case. Eberlin is forced to shoot a mousey Russian operative Henderson (John Bird) to avoid detection. Gatiss goes to meet Russian spy chief Sebakevitch (Lionel Stander) to negotiate a price for giving over Krasnevin.

Sebakevitch identifies British Agent Copperfield (Norman Bird) as Krasneviin however Gattis and Eberlin find Copperfield murdered in a photo booth. Gattis exacts his revenge by shooting the Russian at a car race during a crash of the racers. Prentiss advises Eberlin that the British were responsible for killing Pavel and that they knew that Eberlin was Krasnevin all along.

As he is about to board a flight back to England, Eberlin sees Gattis in the distance and………………………………………………………………………..

Harvey plays the lead character as a snobbish arrogant character with little emotion. Why Mia Farrow’s character was popping up all over without any reason is mystifying.

Confusing and complicated beyond necessity.
