Covert Action (originally released as Sono Stato un Agente C.I.A.) is a 1978 Italian/Greek co-production Eurospy film starring the American actor David Janssen.
The plot was based on the experiences of former CIA agent Philip Agee[1] who initiated a lawsuit with the producers over his fees and expenses.[2]
