Movie Reviews of The Man with One Red Shoe
Movie Review: Enjoyable Comedy!
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a very cute movie about a mistaken identity and the power struggle between two rival men in power. A musician- Richard Drew- is randomly picked as the target because he's wearing one red shoe- his friend hid his other one- and the rest of the movie follows him as everyone else follows him. Little things like the fake peanuts his friend (of the red-shoe trick) slips him become objects of obsession for the agents following him. There are also several hysterical scenes where a sexy female agent tries varied tricks to get him to reveal his secrets...except he *has* no information and so doesn't reveal anything- but gets a reputation as a cool operator for not losing his head and saying anything. Watching his friend think he's going insane as he spots (and is knocked out) by the agents following Richard while Richard is oblivious is very funny; some of the best scenes in the movie!
All in all the movie is very cute! Although it's funny and generally clean, there are some scenes I wouldn't let young kids watch (escpecially if they're acute).
Summary of The Man with One Red Shoe
In this hilarious undercover comedy, violinist Richard Drew (Hanks) is mistaken for a spy after wearing one red shoe and triggers a game of rivalry between two feuding CIA bosses (Charles Durning, Dabney Coleman). Though Richard is mugged, shot at and chased, he remains unaware that he is an object of suspicion and even falls in love with the agent (Lori Singer) who's trailing him. Meanwhile, his friend's (Jim Belushi) love-starved wife (Carrie Fisher) has designs on him as well.Adapted from a popular French comedy-thriller, The Man with One Red Shoe follows a concert violinist (Tom Hanks) used as a patsy in a conflict between two rival factions of the CIA. Singled out at the airport solely because he's wearing mismatched shoes, Hanks is henceforth believed to be a mole with important information; a rogue crew of agents follows him, searches his apartment, and even seduces him in order to find out what he knows. At the same time, loyal agents--who also believe he's a mole--follow and protect him from predation by the rogues. Lori Singer plays a beautiful blonde spy with a conscience and an astonishing backless dress; Dabney Coleman, Charles Durning, and Edward Herrmann are agents trying to second-guess each other; Jim Belushi plays Hanks's best friend, a jealous percussionist, and Carrie Fisher plays Belushi's wife, a flautist who's infatuated with Hanks and wants him to make some jungle love. Hanks plays it straight and is reliably pleasant. In the hands of Hitchcock, this might have generated some real suspense; as it is, it's amusing with some good twists, some weak gags, and one remarkable bicycle stunt. --Bret Fetzer
