Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
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
Description
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.

5 out of 5 stars Relaxing comedy.......2007-04-15

This is a comedy that I like to see once in a while to relax!

4 out of 5 stars My all time favorite comedy.......2007-01-27

Don't know why, but I come back to this film whenever I want a genuine laugh. It has all the elements here. Mistaken identity, goofy CIA agents, paranoid friend, sexy starlets. It's just a good comedy. Tom Hanks was just getting full recognition when this one came along. Nice to look back at his quirky comedies.

5 out of 5 stars The man with one red shoe.......2006-11-06

Great movie and it was a pleasure buying it through Amazon.

3 out of 5 stars Very Funny early Tom Hanks movie (before he sold out to Hollywood)!.......2006-09-19

Dir.: Stan Dragoti (or as some might call
him, Mr. Cheryl Tiegs)...Starring: Tom
Hanks, Lori Singer, Dabney Coleman, Jim
Metzman...[he played 'Oi-ving', the door
man in Crocodile Dundee I]. A fine remake
of the 1970 French comedy, 'The Tall Blonde
Man with one shoe.' Hnaks plays slighty flaky
classical musician who gets mistaken for agent
which invovles all sorts of chases lead by
hyper ambitious Dabney Coleman in one of his
best roles of the '80's! Singer and Hanks are
very good in here. If Tom Hanks had stayed with
comedy, he would have been maybe the best. Sigh...

1 out of 5 stars three stooge version.......2006-05-03

This is the second remake of the original French version from around 1970. This one is the worst of the three. The gags remind me of the Three Stooges movies. They are overdone and drawn out to pad the movie to 90 minutes.
