Peppermint Frappé is a 1967 Spanish New Wave psychological thriller directed by Carlos Saura, starring Geraldine Chaplin and José Luis López Vázquez.

Pablo is a charismatic and sophisticated adventurer who has recently returned from Africa with the unexpected news that he has married a beautiful and carefree young woman named Elena.

Pablo hands Julián a drink, his favorite cocktail, peppermint frappe, as the group awaits the entrance of Elena, who is upstairs dressing.

When they succumb to the drug, Julián carries their bodies to their car which he causes to roll off a cliff, giving the appearance that the couple had died in an automobile accident.

Returning to his country house, Julián finds the place cleared of all incriminating traces and Ana being dressed as the woman of Calanda.

Being a direct homage to Vertigo, Peppermint Frappé uses Julián's obsession with the Hitchcockian blonde woman to illustrate Spain's suppressed fascination with the "foreign" West as well as repressed desires under the nationalist and isolationist regime of Francisco Franco.

In Peppermint Frappé, a single actress and a handful of motifs create a chain of associations whose stylistic sophistication belies the seeming simplicity of the film’s linear plotline.
