The Tall Blonde Man With One Black Shoe is
a French
comedy farce from director Yves Robert (My Father's Glory, My
Mother's Castle). The film was produced by Alain Poire (Jean de
Florette,
Manon of the Spring) and director Yves Robert. Robert wrote the
script
with screenwriter Francis Veber (The Birdcage, The Dinner
Game).

The story of the film focuses on Francois Perrin
(Pierre
Richard), an acclaimed violinist who stumbles into a mad-cap chase
involving
the French government. The superspy French elite receive
bad-information and
are on the chase to take-down Perrin, who is believed to be a massive
threat to
the country. Using their top forces, they go after Perrin and even use
an
immensely beautiful henchwoman named Christine (Mireille Darc) to try
and stop
him.

The comedy ensues from the fact that Perrin is
actually just
a goofy violinist (who is even working on making an opera) and who
happened to
be wearing a bad pairing of shoes. In stumbling into this scenario,
Perrin's
affair with his best friend's wife becomes an issue in Perrin's
friendship, but
he's also soon to fall madly for Christine (who also falls in love with
him).
