For a Cop's Hide (Pour la peau d'un flic)
In his directorial debut, Alain Delon plays Choucas, a cop-cum-private detective who accepts a seemingly uncomplicated case but quickly finds himself entangled in a web of collusion that goes all the way to the top.
As a director, Delon embraces and engages with the shadier side of police operations and produces a sophisticated and brutal action thriller that demonstrates the lessons he learned working with such masters as Jean-Pierre Melville (Le Circle rouge) and René Clément (Purple Noon).
