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]
