The Man Outside is a 1967 British spy thriller film directed by Samuel Gallu and starring Van Heflin, Heidelinde Weis and Pinkas Braun.

A disgraced former CIA agent attempts to bring a Russian defector safely to his former bosses.

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A standard espionage adventure on the spying-is-a-dirty-business theme, with the usual quota of red herrings, loose ends and double crosses.

Van Heflin gives Maclean a rather attractive line in tired charm that underlines his disenchantment with international intrigue.

Still, it is hard to maintain sympathy with any spy who has not yet learned from previous films the sheer folly of meeting other agents at Charing Cross Pier.
