 - The Man with One Red ShoeIt was fun to see this movie again. I like it. It is pretty light and funny, good entertainment. Rating:  - Carrie Fisher really swingsDabney Coleman is sort of a renegade CIA inside the CIA he has to eliminate those that know. Through a series of misdirections he is convinced that Richard (Tom Hanks) is the informant that knows his secret. Naturally Tom is innocent. Now watch as Richard unknowingly brushes with death several times. Will this ever get cleared up and what happens to the different parties in this cat and mouse game. This is one of Tom Hanks's best. It may get lost in the total of his movies. However it is a must see. I did not see the French movie "The Tall Blond Man with One Black Shoe" this is supposed to be a remake of, yet given the cast and their enthusiasm in the movie it could only be an improvement. It was interesting that Richard (Tom Hanks) and Morris (James Belushi) used bicycles for transportation. Many parts of the film would not have worked if they were in automobiles or on foot. I guess the moral of this story is that you have to watch your feet. Rating: - Hysterical!!I first saw this movie right after it was released. I laughed so hard I was actually crying. Tom Hanks shines in his role, Jim Belushi, Carrie Fisher, Dabney Coleman, Lori Singer, et. al. make this movie a keeper. I lost my original copy in a move and have missed it since. I would recommend, and have recommended, "The Man With One Red Shoe" on many occasions. Rating: - Relaxing comedyThis is a comedy that I like to see once in a while to relax! Rating: - My all time favorite comedyDon'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.
