Daniella by Night (French: De quoi tu te mêles Daniela!, German: Zarte Haut in schwarzer Seide) is a 1961 French-West German spy thriller film directed by Max Pécas and starring Elke Sommer, Ivan Desny and Danik Patisson. It was based on the novel Daniela by Walter Ebert.[1] It was Sommer's first of several spy films, but was largely an exploitation film featuring several nude scenes.[2]
International model Daniella is urgently summoned to Rome to appear for Count Castellani's fashion house after the previous model was murdered. She soon discovers that it is a front for a smuggling operation.
Writing for The Valley News, Ali Sar criticized the film for its lack of character development and for its loud and disturbing music. He notes that the "exotic dance scenes" have no bearing on the film's plot.[3]
