Description of this Poster The Tall Blond With A Black Shoe
The Tall Blond with a Black Shoe is a 1972 French spy film directed by Yves Robert and written by Robert and Francis Veber, starring Pierre Richard, Bernard Blier, Jean Rochefort and Mireille Darc. Pierre Richard reprized his role as François Perrin in the sequels titled The Return of the Tall Blonde with a Black Shoe, released in 1974, and The Goat, released in 1981.
Bernard Milan, second in command of French counter-espionage, seeks to discredit his leader Louis Toulouse in order to be able to supplant him. When a French heroin trafficker arrested in New York claims that the drug trafficking was a secret mission on the orders of French counter-espionage (in fact on the orders of Milan), the resulting bad press reflects on Toulouse, which does not can prove that Milan is responsible. As retaliation, Toulouse develops a plan to deal with his ambitious subordinate: in a room that he knows is full of hidden microphones, he sends his assistant Perrache to Orly airport at 9:30 a.m. the next morning, making believe Milan (who listened) that Perrache has gone to meet a master spy who will reveal Milan's betrayal. However, Toulouse secretly asks Perrache to choose someone at random from the crowd of travelers arriving at that hour.
After considering several possibilities among the passengers of the flight arriving at the indicated time, Perrache chooses François Perrin, an unsuspecting violinist who gets noticed because, following a prank played on him by his colleagues in the orchestra, he arrived with a black shoe on one foot and a brown-red shoe on the other. Milan takes the bait and immediately begins a series of attempts to find out what Perrin knows, without realizing that Perrin knows nothing about espionage (despite being an expert in music). Milan's machinations set Perrin on a series of increasingly strange adventures, which he avoids or escapes from through sheer luck (which only confirms Milan's increasingly paranoid suspicions), and although While Perrin is largely oblivious to the chaos occurring around him, he cannot help but notice Milan's main agent, the beautiful femme fatale Christine. To add to the confusion, Perrin has an affair with Paulette Lefebvre, the wife of his best friend Maurice (both musicians in the same orchestra as Perrin), and Maurice, after overhearing a recording of Perrin and Paulette having sex. steamy sexual encounters (performed by Milan agents and listened to inside a flower delivery truck), wrongly concludes that Paulette is having an affair with a florist. Meanwhile, Toulouse and Perrache calmly observe the chaos, although Perrache is troubled by his leader's insensitivity to the risk of Perrin being killed.
Christine greets Perrin at the door of her apartment in a high-necked black velvet dress, then turns around and shows that the dress is backless, revealing discreet buttocks cleavage. A burlesque love scene follows (observed by Milan and his acolytes on a television screen) which ends with Milan's decision (despite Christine's conviction that Perrin cannot be an agent) to have Perrin eliminated. . The chaos (Maurice learns the truth about his wife's affair) and the betrayal (Christine leaves the Milan group to save Perrin, with whom she has fallen in love) continues, until the death of agents from the Toulouse groups and of Milan, but also of Milan himself, who only learns the truth about Perrin from Perrache, just before dying. Realizing how badly he has been fooled, Milan dies with a smile of appreciation. Maurice, who witnessed the aftermath of the shootings in Perrin's apartment several times, suffers from a total mental breakdown.
The film ends as it began, at Orly airport. Perrin pushes an enormous Louis Vuitton trunk into an airport baggage cart, speaking softly to Christine, who is hidden inside. Their destination is Rio de Janeiro. Toulouse, who followed Perrin's departure on a screen, asked Perrache to contact Perrin upon his return, specifying: "After all, he is doing quite well."
