Grand Blond Avec Une Chaussure Noire (The Tall Blond Man With One Black Shoe), Le

1972, PG, 90 min. Directed by Yves Robert. Starring Pierre Richard, Bernard Blier, Jean Rochefort, Mirielle Darc, Jean Carmet.

REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Tue., Aug. 22, 2000

This wacky French sleuth comedy has two competing secret agents making life hell for one tall blond man. A sequel followed it in France, and in the U.S. it was remade with a color change in 1985 as The Man With One Red Shoe.

Paris 36
This French film set in late-Thirties Paris is something of a backstage drama, but it's marred by glossy reminiscing and melodramatic politicizing.
