'Le Tigre aime la chair frache' ("The Tiger loves fresh meat"), English title 'Code Name: Tiger', is a 1964 French Eurospy film directed by Claude Chabrol and starring Roger Hanin as the spy Louis Rapire, code named "The Tiger". The screenplay was written by Chabrol and Hanin. It was an attempt to create a French franchise equal to James Bond, and its female lead, Daniela Bianchi, had the previous year appeared in the James Bond film 'From Russia with Love'. The film had a sequel in 1965, 'Le tigre se parfume la dynamite' ('Our Agent Tiger').Blake, Deal, p.251f

The French government plans an international arms deal with the help of a Turkish diplomate named Baskine. But a group of terrorists menaces the diplomat. When the government receives intelligence concerning a looming attempt on Baskine's life, they assign Louis Rapire "The Tiger" to guard Baskine and his family.
