To Skin a Spy (French title Avec la peau des autres, Italian title Sciarada per quattro spie) is a 1966 French-Italian spy thriller directed by Jacques Deray and based on the novel by Gilles Perrault. Pascal Fabre (Lino Ventura), a French intelligence operative, is sent to Vienna to clear up suspicions that the head of the French intelligence network in Austria, Margeri (Jean Bouise), is a double agent.
