Review of A Dandy in Aspic (1968) by Trent R — 04 May 2010
Mainly interesting to watch for some good performances, including the ever-gruff Lionel Stander, a smooth turn by Peter Cook, and a near-psychotic cameo from Calvin Lockhart. Fantastic, stylish `60s location cinematography from Chris Challis, and a fine score by Q.
Mann didn't make it through the production, so you mainly get a great mood of Cold War dread and feel for what this might have been had he finished. Still, very worth checking out, and available on an inexpensive R2 UK PAL dvd.
