THE DOUBLE MAN - The Man Who Wasn't Himself

THE DOUBLE MAN - The Man Who Wasn't Himself

Join us as Dan and Tom decode the 1967 movie THE DOUBLE MAN. This movie starring Yul Brynner has a great plot twist. But is it any good? Listen to find out!

This movie is set in the Austrian Alps, where we join CIA officer Dan Slater as he investigates his son's suspicious skiing death. Meanwhile, as he digs deeper, he uncovers a Soviet plot to infiltrate the CIA. The film blends Cold War paranoia with identity deception in a tense alpine setting.

To sum up, this is an interesting example of a mid-1960s spy movie. Specifically, it is dark and tense with a lack of high action scenes.
