...tall blond man with one black shoe is related to neither The Thief Who Came to Dinner nor The Lady in the Car with Glasses and a Gun. The comedy, just about as witty and well-turned as its title, centers on the catastrophes that befall a sad-sack classical musician who is selected as a pawn by a couple of squabbling espionage outfits. Made in France, probably by rote, the movie might have remained there had it not contained several sententious asides on the evils of electronic observation and every citizen's right to privacy.

Howard and his girl (Cindy Williams) are surrogates for AIP's Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello, the straight-arrow guy and his girl, the latter a believer in early marriage and eternal obligation. Comic relief is provided by Charlie Martin Smith as the sad sack, and a glimpse into the classic cruising style by Paul Le Mat, who slides down the street in an unbeatable car, his hair in an unruffled d.a., his pack of Camels rolled in the sleeve of his T shirt. The greaser villains, led by Bo Hopkins, have the traditional approach...
