The Woman in Red | comment |
The Woman in Red is a 1984 Romantic Comedy film written and directed by Gene Wilder, who stars along with Kelly LeBrock (in her film debut), Gilda Radner, and Charles Grodin. It is an English-language remake of the 1976 French film Un éléphant ça trompe énormément, also known as Pardon Mon Affaire, and owes a great debt to The Seven Year Itch.The plot centers around Teddy (Wilder), a Happily Married advertising executive in San Francisco who, while leaving work one day, sees Charlotte (LeBrock), a beautiful model in a red dress, walk over an air vent, causing her skirt to blow up before she puts it back down. She starts walking away, then changes her mind and walks back to the air vent and dances on it as the wind blows up her skirt. Teddy spends the bulk of the movie pursuing her, even attempting to learn how to ride a horse, all while keeping his wife, Didi (Judith Ivey), in the dark.The film won the Academy Award for Best Song for Stevie Wonder's "I Just Called to Say I Love You." | |

Hollywood Midlife Crisis: Teddy's opening narration says that everything had been completely normal in his life until he saw Charlotte. From that point forward, his life is thrown into chaos as he is trying everything he can think of to be able to have sex with Charlotte without his wife finding out. | |

Obfuscating Disability: The guys have a regular "blind man" prank where one who pretends that he's blind goes into a restaurant or shop and acts helpless. It's more than a bit cringe-worthy watching this now, and likely wouldn't be put in a film three decades on. | |

There's a later scene where on taking off her sweater and camisole, where she's seen nude from the side and back. Afterward there's a scene where she grabs a sheet for modesty to cover up her breasts when her husband comes home, but is balanced when her lower half is exposed, showing pubic hair briefly. | |
