ynopsis

The chief of the French secret service, Louis Toulouse, in a plot to discredit his second in command, Milan (who is himself plotting to discredit Toulouse so that he can supplant him), sends his assistant, Perrache, to choose at random someone from the crowd of travelers arriving at Orly, having made Milan believe that Perrache has gone to meet a master spy who will expose Milan's treachery.

Perrache happens to select François Perrin, a hapless musician, because as the result of a practical joke Perrin has arrived wearing a black shoe on one foot and a yellow one on the other. Milan takes the bait and immediately begins a series of attempts to find out what Perrin knows -- blind to the fact that Perrin knows nothing at all. Milan's machinations involve Perrin in a series of increasingly peculiar adventures, and although he is largely oblivious to the mayhem Milan causes to occur around him, he can't help noticing the beautiful femme fatale, Christine.

Awards

The film won Silver Bear award at the Berlin International Film Festival in 1973. It was nominated as Best Foreign Film at the National Board of Review (1973). [ [http://www.allmovie.com/cg/avg.dll?p=avg&sql=1:48570~T4 allmovie ((( The Tall Blond Man with One Black Shoe > Awards ))) ] ]
