Pour la peau d'un flic (English: For a Cop's Hide) is a 1981 French crime-thriller film starring and directed by Alain Delon.

[2] Choucas, a former police detective, is commissioned by an elderly lady to investigate the disappearance of her blind daughter, Marthe.

Assisted by retired commissioner Haymann, and by secretary Charlotte, investigator Choucas attempts to unravel the thread of a fraud involving various police services and drug traffickers.

Back home, Choucas escapes an ambush tended by a certain commissioner Madrier and kills him, with the result of ending up in the viewfinder not only of a mysterious gang, but also of the police.

The story proceeds with a succession of events, including the kidnapping of Charlotte, saved at the last minute by her employer.
