Film Movement, the distributor of award-winning independent and foreign films, announces today that The Tall Blond Man with One Black Shoe, by director Yves Robert, will be released on Blu-ray on July 7, 2015.
Digitally restored in HD on the Film Movement Classics label, this marks the first American home video release of the madcap comedy, which was a seminal send-up of the era and a Silver Bear winner at the Berlin Film Festival in 1973.
Synopsis: The Tall Blond Man with One Black Shoe is a frothy French farce about espionage, surveillance and mistaken identity. When Francois (Pierre Richard), an unsuspecting violinist, is misidentified as a superspy by national intelligence, outrageous antics ensue. As everyone (including Mireille Darc, playing a knock-out henchwoman) falls over each other in their misguided attempts to discover the tall blond man?s secrets, his best friend complicates matters even further when he overhears a salacious recording of Francois with his wife. The whole merry-go-round comes crashing to a halt in one final showdown, pitting spy versus supposed spy with hilarious results. Elegantly filmed and accompanied by a memorable score, The Tall Blond Man with One Black Shoe is one of the most iconic comedies of the 1970s.
