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

Choucas, a former police detective, is commissioned by an elderly lady to investigate the disappearance of her blind daughter, Marthe. The lady is murdered. 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. During the investigation Choucas is attacked in the apartment of the victim by a certain Pradier; he kills him but his accomplice manages to escape. 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. Choucas will discover that he was maneuvered by the police commissioner Coccioli against his dishonest colleagues, and will risk to leave his life in an attempt to discover the truth and to strip the gang: it will be saved in extremis by policemen.

Dans Pour la peau d'un flic, Alain Delon s'appelle Choucas, et campe un ex-flic réputé coriace, expert en tir au colt&160;45 ! Au summum de sa gloire, l'acteur se met lui-même en scène, avec une efficacité certaine, dans ce polar sanglant. Car Choucas, devenu détective privé, ne sait pas où il met les pieds lorsqu'il accepte de partir à la recherche d'une jeune aveugle disparue de chez elle : poursuivi par ses anciens collègues et par une bande de tueurs, il n'a même plus le temps de s'occuper de sa belle secrétaire (Anne Parillaud à ses débuts). Typiquement le genre de film qu'on se plaît à regarder à chacune de ses rediffusions télé. Plus besoin d'attendre désormais : il est désormais disponible en DVD!
