Monsieur Hawarden is a 1968 Belgian-Dutch drama film[1] directed by Harry Kümel.[2] The film was selected as the Dutch entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 42nd Academy Awards, but was not accepted as a nominee.[3]

The film is an adaptation of Filip De Pillecyn's short story Monsieur Hawarden (1935) and Henri Pierre Faffin's novel Monsieur Hawarden (1932),[4] both of which were inspired by an actual nineteenth century diary.[5]
