The Tall Blond Man with One Black Shoe	comment	The Tall Blond Man with One Black Shoe (French: Le Grand Blond avec une chaussure noire) is a 1972 French comedy film directed by Yves Robert and written by Yves Robert and Francis Veber, starring Pierre Richard, Jean Rochefort, Bernard Blier, Mireille Darc and Jean Carmet. Vladimir Cosma composed the scores of this film and its sequel.The films tell the story of FranÃ§ois Perrin, a hapless orchestra player who becomes an unwitting pawn of rival factions within the French secret service after he is chosen as a decoy by being identified as a super secret agent (he wore a brown shoe on one foot and a black shoe on the other that day, hence the title).The film's sequel, The Return of the Tall Blond Man (Le Retour du Grand Blond), was released in 1974. The film was remade in the USA as The Man with One Red Shoe.
