In this rather routine adaptation of the French hit, The Tall Blond Man with One Black Shoe, Richard (Tom Hanks) is a bicycling violinist who is innocently drawn into a nasty struggle for control of the CIA. Cooper (Dabney Coleman) is the unscrupulous current head honcho of the notorious U.S. agency, Ross (Charles Durning) is his nemesis, and Maddy (Lori Singer) works for Cooper. After Richard the violinist is forced into the picture, Maddy fights off an attraction to the rather dull man, and complications introduce enough gadgetry to fill a James Bond movie, almost. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

    This was a strange story but it kept my attention. Tom definitely carried the movie with his wonderful talent, though.

    The original French version was a riot, Tom and Jim and the other performers are ecellent but it come close to the French version story

    If you are a fan of earlier Tom Hanks(the funny one) and loved "Bachelor Party" or "The Burbs", then this is a must watch. Carey Fields is sexy as hell, and the scene with Jim Belushi chasing an ambulance on bicycle while Carey does a Tarzan yell is gut-busting! A great, often overlooked movie!
